For example, it is common knowledge that films are shot out of sequence. Suppose the script calls for the first scene to be in her bed- room downtown, getting dressed, and the second scene with her at the airport flying into the arms of her lover whom she hasn't seen in two days. We all know that the director doesn't film the first scene, yell `Cut', and drag everyone to the airport for the second scene, and so on. We know that films are shot out of sequence for matters of economy. Yet we accept this when we sit in front of a screen and watch a movie. When I go to the cinema I hope for one of two things ­ that the story I see will change my life forever, or that I don't fall asleep. 4.

Let's face it ­ we love to gape. For screenwriters, the challenge is to create a world that people want to stare at, and to make the screen characters, dialogue, setting and action so compelling that they cannot wrench themselves away from the screen until the very last frame, the very last words in the script.
