Role of the writer.

The role of the writer is very important and it is very hard work to do. Writers always have to do a lot of things such as;

Script editing - they have freedom to write as they go along which makes their work a bit easier.

Director or producer involvement - they have to work very close with directors and producers. They have to work as a team to make the film better.

Their work is organic process, however not all writers get freedom to write as they go along or to do as they want with the script.

Some writers are allowed to change scripts on last minute. In some cases it is very good because some people get ideas as they go along but for those writers who can't do that, they have to keep their ideas to themselves.

For example; for 'Lord of the Rings' writer got freedom to write as they go along or even change the whole thing in last minute which allowed them to put more ideas into it and make it even better. Writers had to work very closely with directors and producers because they all three together can make it better than one of them working on their own. They were able to share with ideas and think about it together. At the begining 'Lord of the Rings' was supposed to be just two films, but because they kept changing everything in last minute and they re-write script every week, they got more ideas so they got longer script and at the end they got three films instead of two.
