Storytelling and Its Visual Comprehension
This is how we make sense of and find meaning in life.
It is said that more than 50% of the brain’s cortex is devoted to visual processing. And most of this visual processing has to do with observing and then interpreting those patterns. Early humans’ survival depended on such observations and interpretations of patterns as potential sources of danger that they could avoid. However, once survival stopped being a serious concern, humans put their innate ability to observe patterns to other use.
Perhaps therein lies the origins of ‘story’. For, a story is observation of the human condition in all its colors. And then it continues as the summation of it within a dramatic structure.
Storytelling has evolved along with us. It did so from sounds to early languages, rock carvings, hieroglyphics, drawings, paintings, comics and finally to film.
The Birth of Screenwriting
The idea of “scripts” had already been in practice for several centuries before that. Plays (i.e. for theatre) had already been employing scripts as a technical document forming the basis for staging of plays. Therefore, the term “scriptwriting” can refer to writing for both theatre and screen. However, once films started telling stories, there was a necessity to acknowledge several key differences between the two.
Writing Scripts versus Screenplay
A Trip to the Moon, a film from 1902, was the first widely acknowledged screenplay. George Melies was the writer who introduced that script. It was the first instance where descriptions and action lines represented what would happen on the screen. The screenplay grew in importance as the American film industry evolved through the early twentieth century. The industry went on becoming lucrative and cinema houses started mushrooming.
Screenplay’s Role in Professional Filmmaking
Another was the growth in the scope and scale of the stories in the movies. This meant that more money was at stake and hence efficiency in the production process became paramount. Thus, the screenplay went on becoming more and more important in its role as an essential. By 1930s, Hollywood’s “studio system” was in full bloom. The heads of studios started seeing the screenplay as inevitable. It became a crucial element in ensuring productivity and profitability through the entire filmmaking process. This is how scripts often act as blueprints to the entire film making process. They don’t just ensure efficiency but also maintain continuity between the various departments. These departments include casting, acting, cinematography, art direction, production design, costume, sound, etc.
The Indian Context, e.g., Writing Scripts in Bangalore, India
Differences Between The Two
Due to these differences, until late twentieth century, the Indian context had its own separate development. Elements that were considered to be one unit in a classic Western screenplay were actually worked on separately. Also they were often worked on by different people in the Indian film industry. Thus, Indian films have the unique distinction of crediting entirely different professionals for story, screenplay and dialogue. On the other hand, all these functions are together credited as “written by” in the films made in Hollywood. In fact they are credited so anywhere else outside India.
