A Screenplay is the text of a film that features dialogue, stage directions, camera directions, and other off-screen details.
A film I think has a good screenplay.
The difference between a script and a screenplay is that screenplay’s feature more detail on the behind the scenes elements needed, while a script just features the information needed by performers.
