What is a Script?

A script is a written work that expresses a writer's imagination through words, conveying pictures and sounds. It serves as a blueprint for filmmakers, guiding them in creating visual stories. A screenplay includes essential elements like character descriptions, scenes, and dialogue. Each scene starts with a slugline detailing the location and time, followed by action blocks that describe what characters are doing. Character names are highlighted in capital letters, with their dialogue presented below. This structured format allows for clear interpretation and realization of the script's vision.
