Story Development takes place at pre-production process.
A scriptwriter is free to do experiments with the storyline of the script before presenting it on the big screen.
Dr. Krishnendu pointed that while writing script the writer must sketch the characters and plot of the scene so that the director or the actor can get the detail picture of the story from the script.
To build characters within a story the writer must carefully observe people’s day to day activities, their behavioural pattern and style of speaking.
A good script with good storyline is the backbone of every successful film.
