What is script writing?

Script writing (or screenwriting) is the process of creating tales in the screenplay format. Script writing is the process of recording the movement, actions, expressions, and language of the characters in screenplay style. Creating a novel, a poem, or an essay is not the same as writing a script. Specific formatting strategies are essential to successfully communicate oneself on the screen. Screenplay structure is utilized to graphically portray the tale. Scriptwriters or screenwriters create material for movies, television, video games, and, more recently, online web series. Script writing can be done for pay or on the speculative basis in the hopes of selling their script or finding an agent.

Why is script writing important?

A script is a document that describes the video or audio, which includes descriptions of the various shots and any dialogue/voice overs. A script also serves as a planning device for the video. It describes the stock footage that is used, which locations where certain scenes will be shot, what occurs in each shot, and what is included in each shot. Will there be a voice over narrating the video or will there be an onscreen actor doing the narration? Will there be action going on in each of the shots? Is the video narrative, i.e. telling a coherent story from beginning to end, or is it descriptive, with each shot describing something that the maker of the video wishes to explain? The relationship of a script to the video is like that of blueprints to a building.
