2. 'And the Oscar goes to....', hearing your own name after
these words is what most people live for in the
Entertainment Industry. While not many are able to realize
that dream, those who do are remembered forever.
A movie cannot be made without a script, and while there
have been instances where the scripts for movies have been
written on the day of the shooting, already written scripts
are always better, just as how prevention is always better
than cure. Scripts have always been an important part of
movie making for various reasons such as in settings, in
dialogues, etc. And while improvisations are always
welcomed by directors, the tone of the film should never be
totally forgotten.

3. The Oscar awards for a screenplay are further divided into two
categories, they are, Best Original Screenplay and Best
Adapted Screenplay. While Original Screenplay considers the
original idea and the script, adapted is about a previous work
that is adapted while using the cinematic experience.

9. Thus it's clear from such examples that better
adaptations of already created works do lead to
success, as long as it's done the right way. As the
famous Director Alfred Hitchcock has said, use
cinema to tell stories that have already been told.
