Script writing in the film industry:
When writing a script you always have to start with an original idea and then script writers use those ideas to go on and write their scripts, with the intention of selling them and having them produced. Most of the time a film project will firstly get initiated then it will exclusively become that person’s assignment, which are then referred to as ‘exclusive’ assignments or ‘pitched’ assignments. As screen writers work on a freelance basis they can at any point be approached and personally offered an assignment to write.
