Busted: Screenwriting Myth #8

Years ago when I was studying for my business degree, I remember a marketing professor telling the class that the best way to assess the power and effectiveness of a TV commercial was to switch off the sound. “If you still get the message and feel the emotion of it with no sound,” he maintained, “you know you’ve got a compelling commercial.” It’s the same in film. The days of silent movies may be long gone, but we still respond more viscerally to what we see than to what we hear, which is why this excerpt busts my Screenwriting Myth #8, which says, “Master Dialogue and I Will Master Screenwriting.” The reality? There's more to accomplished screenwriting than dialogue.

There’s More to Accomplished Screenwriting than Dialogue

Dialogue that reveals character, evokes emotion and tells story is critical to every film. But so is everything else you see on the screen.

As a screenwriter you are more than a speechwriter; you are a visual artist, a painter. Your job is to transform your screenplay pages into canvases upon which you paint the word pictures that conjure up a motion picture. It takes more than dialogue to do that.
