Screenwriter blogpost

1. What is the
role of the
screenwriter?

2. Hi guys, today I’m going to research and
find out what a screenwriter is and why
they are so important.
So for all you who didn’t know, a
screenwriter is a person who writes a
screenplay. Oh..let me guess, you don’t
know what a screenplay is?
A screenplay is the script of a film
which usually include acting
instructions and scene directions.
So now you know what a screenwriter and
a screenplay are lets get on to the good
stuff.

3. Lets keep it simple and easy to start off with. So
basically we all have responsibilities in life don’t we?
Well so do screenwriters. They are held responsible for
developing the scripts, describing the stories, including
the detail, explaining the physical environments AND
including the moods of the characters in the film (script).
Their job is EXREMELY important because without them,
there would be no script and then no film would be
developed. The scripts come from the screenwriters OWN
ideas and imagination. You try thinking of a storyline that
doesn’t already exist in a film or that would excite
millions of people..its hard right!
Scripts are part of the production of a film or show,
screenwriters might produce a synopsis and several scenes
of a story. Then following this, a shooting script
will then be prepared.

4. What are shooting
scripts you ask?
Shooting scripts are
similar to screenplays
but they entail camera,
lighting and shot
instructions and can
change during
production.
That is all you need to
know about screen –
writers for now!
Thanks for listening
guys and I’ll see you in
my next blog :)
Fun fact guys, this is the font
used in all scripts. One script
page of this writing = one
minute filming time!
