Bible (screenwriting)

The Bible, in screenwriting, is a document used to map out the entire story of the movie or TV show before writing the actual script. It's like a big picture puzzle of the story, where every piece needs to fit together perfectly. Just like how we need to put all the puzzle pieces in the right place to make the whole picture, screenwriters need to make sure the different parts of their story connect to create a complete and satisfying plot. The Bible describes the plot, characters, settings, events, and everything else that will happen in the story. This document serves as a guide for the writers to follow as they write each scene and dialogue, making sure they stay on track and don't forget important details. Think of it like writing a grocery list before going to the store - the Bible helps writers stay organized, focused, and ensure that the story makes sense from beginning to end.
