: Re: Scriptwriting, screenplay writing, playwriting, blogging Does a script usually have to come out like a play? Or, there should be a difference?

There are technical differences between a play and a screenplay. Amadeus has set you on a good path.

The, often overlooked, important difference between a play and screenplay is the required location discipline. A director may move cameras at any point to any location but there is only ONE stage.

Subsequently, if you were writing a play: "Emigrating to the New World."

ACT ONE: In the current family home.

ACT TWO: Aboard the ship for the long journey.

ACT THREE: In their shiny new home.

The above play would require TWO scene changes. You cannot switch back and forth between locations.
