Screenwriting is the art and craft of writing scripts for film, television or video games.

Writing for film is potentially one of the most high-profile and best-paying careers available to a writer and, as such, is also perhaps the most sought after. While it is increasingly difficult to make a living as a Hollywood screenwriter, that does not stop tens of thousands of people from trying every year, as the capricious nature of the film industry makes it possible for a complete unknown to launch a career simply by writing a commercially-appealing screenplay and getting it into the hands of the right people.

Screenwriting in the entertainment industry

The act of screenwriting takes many forms across the entertainment industry. Often, multiple writers work on the same script at different stages of development with different tasks. Over the course of a successful career, a screenwriter might be hired to write in a wide variety of roles.

A. It's a pause between dialogue- either lines between two actors, or a pause in one actors' speech. If you watch the film and read along in the script, you should see how it works.

A. If you're a playwright, then you already know story structure. Screenwriting isn't all that much different, other than format. Playwriting and screenwritiner are different sides of the same coin; they're both equally easy to write. Look at some screenplays. You can do this here: www.script-o-rama.com www.imsdb.com www.simplyscripts.com Pick up a copy of the Screenwriters Bible by David Trottier, it'll walk you through any formatting issues you may have.
