Does a movie producer write the script?

A film producer's job is to secure funding for the project and write checks to pay for the production.Usually, a director is more involved with casting than a producer, and rightfully so: the director and the actor are responsible for telling the story on film, following the script and working together. The director may hire a casting professional to help in this key task.However, there are 'producers' who use their 'power' to influence unwitting actors into relationships off the set, based on the 'producer's' 'power' to 'cast the actor'. Generally, actors are well advised to avoid these kinds of 'producers'.


What is a screenwriters role in making movies?

Your answer depends on both the screenwriter and the producer. It is possible that a screenwriter was paid in full for the script, in which case another screenwriter may be hired 'on set' to re-write scenes depending on variables that dictate edits. For example, if the original script was set in Chicago, and the shooting location is Monte Carlo, certain elements of dialog or plot could be adjusted to accommodate this change. There are movie sets where certain actors 'demand' more lines, and the producer and director agree. In these cases, the screenwriter adds dialog -- screen time -- for the actor making the demand. Finally, there are 'script doctors' who re-cast completed scripts according to 'notes' given by other participants, such as producers, director(s), actors and so forth, prior to finalizing the shooting script.

How do we write songs in a screenplay - I don't mean music I mean when a character breaks out into song?

Unless your script is a commissioned script with all rights to the music already in place, best practices dictate that you do not write songs into your script. You can write a few words that the actor sings into the script, and then leave the logistics up to the production company. Your goal is to include the 'breaking out into song' character tag for your character in a believable way in your script. Here is an example: [in proper script format] HARRY (singing) Some day my prince will come . . .


What is the difference between a film producer and a director?

A Producer Finances (along with many other things) and hires the director and other staff, the director is in charge of the creative aspect._________________________________________________________________Think about it this way (a good metaphor):Two people, a director and a producer, want to make a painting.The producer would go and purchase all of the different colors.The director does the painting, using the colors given to him by the producer.Often, people consider the director to be more important, but they're both very influential on the final outcome of the film.
