Answer 2

In screenplays, offstage voices are more common.

Answer 3

Filmmaking is a general term that applies to the actual production (making) of a film. This can be producers, cinematographers, editors, etc.

Screenwriting is more specific. It refers to a writing a piece intending to be filmed whether for television or cinema.

Authors of screenplays differ from other literature authors in that they provide tangible details that can be filmed as opposed to inner monologues from characters that are otherwise intangible.

Answer 4

The words probably refer to the same skill: an ability to craft a story for production by a team of people.

Screenwriting may be particular to film or video media, and scriptwriting may include writing for the stage.

Answer 5

A film story can be told verbally around a campfire, read on the page like a manuscript or a book, or otherwise passed among humans in ways that engage humans' imaginations for all aspects of the story.

A screenplay is a structured format used by all the people involved in making a film, where the format equates to about one minute of film per page. Film is a visual medium where many of the descriptive words in the script are changed so that they are absorbed visually.

Answer 6

Film scripts are usually set, for example

Chris "oh dear!" the actor couldn't say "oh no!"

Where as theatre scripts are more relaxed.

Film scripts also give scene changes and any computer generated activity is usually indicated.

Theatre scripts give light directions, curtain falls and in some cases, tell the actor to use a colloquial style to the audience... Pantomimes are usually a good example of this :)

Another Answer

A film script is written so that everyone involved in telling the story on film can use it as a guide. The people involved are all those listed in a film's credits. One page of script for a film -- 8-1/2" x 11" -- is usually about one minute of screen time. Film scripts 'open up' so that scenes can take place anywhere.

A script for a play is written so that the director can control and manage telling the story within the proscenium of a stage. The director uses the script to set-up actors within those confines. As well, set designers, costumers and so forth are required: with far fewer people in support than are involved in making a film. There is no set amount of time for a page of stage play, since the page sizes are so wildly different, depending on the publisher. Stage plays are confined to the stage.
