The role of a Screenwriter

 The very beginning of a screenplay starts with an idea! Scenarists develop ideas which may be their own, ideas from a story or ideas based on someones real life experience or story, in order to write a script with the intentions of turning it into something amazing to get it produced into mass media such as a film or television program. The Screenwriter must set a specific target audience and specifically create something fascinating and exciting to have a lasting effect on the reader to enhance them to want the production to go through so they can watch it.

Open assignments are the perfect opportunity for Screenwriters to produce highly creative writing pieces and present it to a production company or film studio. These are competitive positions where more experienced writers usually get chosen, however it is an equal opportunity for a screenwriter to present work and let the producers make an decision.

Screenwriters then work with a production company's or film studio's director, agent or entertainment executive to develop the final finished product. Sometimes an additional screenwriter is brought in to bring any additional final ideas to the project. This would mean the screenwriter may have to share credit, or they may just be credited for dialogue.

As this industry is vastly growing, many screenwriters are going off on their own tangent and becoming freelance screenwriters.
