i've always assumed that writers don't really write with the medium in mind and leave it to the director to work with the cinematographer to take advantage of the visual aspect. but sometimes i notice that there are certain scenes that wouldn't work if something wasn't framed in a certain way or if the camera was angled differently like in a movie with lots of visual comedy for example.
my question is how do these come about? does the director work with the writers as they're writing it to figure out what would work? does the director make changes to the screenplay after they get it to add gags or emphasize themes? do they wing it as they're filming? and if writers ever do write some of these in, how do they denote it in their screenplay?
help me understand
also this is a great question OP and i'd love to see some big name directors go in depth about this
thank you for responding i didn't see until now
and thanks @FlyHiii i'm writing a couple of s***ty screenplays but have no actual education on it so I thought i'd ask
Case by case but if you’re a writer let the director/actor cook
A lot of amateur screenwriters have way too much action. If it’s neccesary to the story that’s one thing but yuh
