the work of drama in a written form, intended for the screen (film and television) (FILMTERM). It tells a story through visual descriptions, actions of characters and their dialogue (Screenwriting.info, 2017). Written by a screenwriter, it is intended to be the basis for a team of artistic collaborators who complete the storytelling through visual and aural designs, acting, and directing, (Burgoyne & Downey, 2012) and may go through any number of changes, both in the rewriting process during development, pre-production and during production (Screenwriting.info, 2017).
