I tried to attach an image but I guess 1.8M is too big. Uploaded a copy here: https://www.mediafire.com/view/k7b5m81wbr88zn7/2023-05-21_23_42_48-Watch_Deadline_%25282009%2529_-_Free_Movies_Tubi_%25E2%2580%2594_Mozilla_Firefox.png/file I think this is for screen writing but in the movie someone was using this method for a novel. Just got me thinking if it is only for screen writers or if this is also an acceptable style of writing a story. I could not easily find a comparison to answer for me so I wanted to come and ask here. Thanks.
It's a screenplay. I've mixed it into a story before, but it was as an effect. The story turned into a movie and so the text became a screenplay. I'm sure I've seen others do it too for whatever strange reasons.
Screen play, play, or novel it is all story. Writing for the screen is more visual with more subtext than the typical novel. I would suggest Story by Robert McKee for a detailed examination of the differences.
