1.) In the Weston readings she speaks of a script wherein the lead character may or may not have committed a murder, and the answer remained ambiguous throughout. However, she says that the writer should still make up his/her mind on whether he did committ the murder or not so that the character will be more developed. I do not think that it is necessary to make a decision in this matter. I believe that not answering the question will help the writer from making mistakes that perhaps give away the answer to the viewers. Does anyone else share my views?
2.) When writing coverage should the writer strive to make it colorful and a pleasant read?

I think the writer should write in whatever style he or she feels comfortable with because their script is a reflection of themselves. This will, hopefully, attract directors and producers who are, for lack of a better way to describe it, "kindred spirits". So then the movie will be more likely to reflect the same mood as the script which means it reflects the same mood as the script writer. Everyone operates differently.
I think writing a style of coverage all depends on the person reading your coverage. You don't need your coverage reader bored with your analysis, or frustrated with all the fluff they have to cut through.
I think, in the objective of keep your job, know your reader to decide then how to "flower" your coverage.
I would think a short and to the point coverage would be preferable. You don't want it to be read like Sternberg, but you also don't want to drag it out longer than it needs to be.
