UNIT 24 WRITING FOR FILM & TV TASK 1 (Livia)


A screenwriter is a person who makes written blueprints of films. This person is in the original person designing the overall inspiration and understanding that they rest of the cast, crew and whomever else will start at.

Screenwriters have a task of designing the story that will be put on screen in the overall outcome of the project or idea that is being crafted, this is regardless of what other jobs within the project will do or add to this; it’s what the screenwriter crafts that will be the platform for any change or additional construction. The job is hard in the sense that a screenwriter commonly has to spend long periods of time crafting, building up and mastering a script to perfection.

A screenwriter has to be extremely imaginative in terms of having to already have a finished, ordered and perfect movie in mind to write out or at least have a perfect film, as an outcome with all of the competition is tough to pull of.

A screenwriters has to not only research whatever story they’re undertaking but develop the narrative, write and deliver the piece in the format it’s required.
Screenwriters require to present their work in a ‘Master shot’ format, as their work is unlikely to be considered without these minimum requirements harshly.

To conclude a screenwriter’s real job is to be a foundation to encourage creative flows to anybody they’re working with for or around; any body who reads their doing. They have to make their work a written film in which the reader feels one with and can see as if the script was being played out right in front of them.
A screenwriter is the fire-starter to the success of a project and without a good screen writer a good project is impossible.
