Scriptwriting involves writing scripts for films, television, and video games that include characters' names, dialogue, and clear stage directions. A script is important as it provides organization, plans dialogue, and gives structure and direction to actors and directors through its consistent format and easy to follow instructions. Effective scripts clearly identify characters and scenes while detailing dialogue and staging.
