Why is word processing more important than other software?

Scripts require an extremely well-defined format for their presentation, with a precise location on the page for each element you type. A word processor is useful as a tool in these efforts, because you can define the element by its location on the page. Why? This precise format has proved useful as a way to estimate everything about a film. Each page of a script turns into about one minute of film run-time. The script is the map for every collaborator on a film, from producer to set janitor.


What is a page lock down for script writers?

You're probably referring to a shooting script -- a special condition of a script -- where the page is final: no more edits or rewrites. The term may be based on what happens with a camera once it is set up the way it will be used to shoot the scene: the camera is 'locked down'.

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.)

Is a 1000 page script long?

It's almost unimaginably long. The rule of thumb is that a page of script usually translates into 30-60 seconds of film, so a movie shot from a 1000 page script would probably have a running time of over 8 hours, and could well be 16 or more hours long.
