Comparing the job of Scriptwriter to Director
If the director gives an instruction to the scriptwriter, the
scriptwriter must follow it. However, whilst the scriptwriter is not
able to give the director orders, they are able to recommend and suggest
their own ideas to them. Despite this, the final decision still belongs
to the director, so these ideas going ahead or not depends upon how the
director feels about them and whether he likes them or not.
The scriptwriter, when presenting his script to the director, will have
to explain, describe and clarify how they wanted/pictured it to give the
director an understanding of the product. The director has to have a
full understanding before they make any alterations that they feel
necessary.
The director can only give a basic idea of what they want. It is the
responsibility of the scriptwriter to convert the director's requested
elements into words and include them into the script.
