Almost nothing, depends if the fillm is successful. I learnd this at Austin and at Sundance, when you do a inde fiml, you're basically doing charity work. but if you're film takes off, you can make thousands, even get a job at a major studio...

Note: major studios like pixar pay by lump sum, so unless you're head writer, youll get payed what they feel like it....

What is the intention of a script writer?

Often a script writer is motivated to tell a story using film as a medium. Since each page of screenplay equals about one minute of film time, and since the format for a script is so precise, another intention is to provide all the people who work together to tell the story on film all the details necessary. (Next time you watch a movie, stick around and read the credits. A script writer's intention is to supply all the people listed with the details each needs to perform their individual jobs.)

Are script and screen writers the same thing?

A script -- film script, screenplay -- is a document written by a storyteller in a tight and specific format. (Script [writer] also has other meanings: see below.)One page of a screenplay is about one minute of film time. Every person involved in the collaborative process of telling stories on film uses that page as a guide for their work. Collaborators include not only producers, actors and directors, but set designers, costume staff, prop people, lighting, sound and camera experts and so forth: everyone listed in the rolling credits when the film ends.When one describes his or her avocation as a 'script writer', in the context of telling stories on film, then, yes it is the same as describing oneself as a 'screenwriter', which is a more specific term.Note that a script writer can write a script for a stage play. That format is different from the one used for film and is not so finitely envisioned as is a film script. A stage play script leaves lots of room for interpretation. That's why you've seen Shakespear's plays set in different time periods and interpreted differently depending on the desired audience.Scripts are also written for public appearances, celebration events, corporate executives, governmental spokes persons and so forth.Finally, people who write computer code also write scripts.

How much money does a script writer earn?

Well between $1,200,00 and $4,000,000 for the ones that sell alot.Another answer:It depends on where the scriptwriter works.When working on a script for hire, the union rate is wildly variable. The Writer's Guild of America (WGA), with a chapter in the East and a chapter in the West offers, guidelines for writer's payments.However, what a scriptwriter earns depends on may variables. The payments are different, depending on whether it's a film or a television production.If it's a film, is it a low-budget film? An independent film? A studio film?If it's a television production, is it a TV film? A series?...and so forth.As well, is the work original or is this a re-write?A writer can be paid a percentage of the film's budget.A different scale exists if the script is for 'new media'.A working writer living close to areas where television and film products are made -- Los Angeles area and New York area -- can make a decent, middle-class living as a working writer. This writer is able to demonstrate a wide range and a rich mix of writing abilities, including an ability to plot, write dialog, develop characters all the while keeping a rein on production costs.Another kind of scriptwriter writes scripts on 'spec', meaning that the writer completes a script and all its revisions, then 'shops' the script around for a production company to purchase.A first script may earn $1,000 - $10,000, especially if the writer has not been offered membership in the WGA. Subsequent scripts can earn more.Wildly successful writers, whose past scripts have earned multiple millions for production companies, can earn in the millions per script. Examples are Joe Eszterhas, who in 1993 earned $3,000,000 for the script, Basic Instinct -- the highest amount paid for a script at the time.In other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia and England, different unions and different guidelines apply.In non-English-speaking countries, yet another series of guidelines will be followed.
