Excerpt from Pen to Silversheet
First: The story - what it is and the circum stances governing its selection.
Second: The sources from which original stories for photoplay use are obtained.
Third: The manner in which an author conceives and develops an original story idea for the screen.
Fourth: The amateur scenario writer problem - the principal shortcomings of the average amateur who submits his scenario, how they should be overcome, what is wanted by scenario departments and some helpful discussion as to what are the qualifications of a successful writer and, providing he possesses those qualifications, pointers on how he should pre pare his ideas for submission to scenario departments.
Fifth: The development of the scenario from the original by trained studio writers, what the scenario consists of and its importance to further production work.
The very first step in the production Of a motion picture is the selection Of the story. A motion picture, in the early days, was merely a film record of some kind of motion. Hence the name, motion pictures. But, in its present state of development, the motion picture is a drama or comedy or tragedy told by action and expression - ideas conveyed by means of expression, from the players to the audience.
The story, therefore, is paramount - the foundation upon which the picture is builded - the central idea of which the completed production is only an objectification.
