SCREENWRITING

Script Format and Structure

Before a film finds its home on the big screen, it must first exist in written form as a screenplay. Screenwriting, or the written version of film, is a very specific type of writing that can be incredibly challenging as a screenwriter must structure their story for viewing, not reading as most writers do.
