The writer’s job is to write the screenplay and keep the reader turning pages, not to determine how a scene or sequence should be filmed. You don’t have to tell the director and cinematographer and film editor how to do their jobs. Your job is to write the screenplay, to give them enough visual information so they can bring those words on the page into life, in full ‘sound and fury,’ revealing strong visual and dramatic action, with clarity, insight, and emotion.
