Yesterday I was reding about movies screenplays and found some analogies with writing requirements.
The screenplay must be readable, because filmmakers need to understand
- what they are talking about,
- who will be there,
- how much it will costs
- etc.
It is usually roughly divided in three parts: the set-up, the development, the epilogue (eg. 30, 60, 30 pages)
Many things change before and during shootings: dialogues change, sometimes you shoot a scene at night instead of during the day, etc. so....
"If you don't like changes, then go write poetry". This one rings a bell, doesn't it ?
Also, it will be read by the actors, who will interpret it and change it in some ways.
