The Scriptwriter or Screenplay Writer provides the intellectual mean of any movie or film as it created the contextual story around which the characters and film are inevitably wound together. The movie story is the basic foundation for any cinematographic work to succeed in reaching its target audience. Whether it is original or adapted from existing literary works, the script inspires the director to create the visual and aural extravaganza that only the cinema can offer as an entertainment and artistic medium. Without a script, there can be no sensible movie that can stand on its own.
