Writing Plays/Screenwriting - phenomena


Expert: John M. Lovett - 12/11/2008

Question
there is some phenomena  I practice want to take your opinion on ?

when I m writing a scene or imagining a scene before writing or between writing scenes I do the following

" I m act the scene , sing , do music with my mouth , running , jumping , may be dancing , make voice of planes , trains , people regiments running .............

simply as I keep the world I  see in my mind in my room , for instance if the scene is in USA I imagine USA on my room  , if the scene in the airport , I m hearing the airport in my ear flying around me , the sea waves in front of me , or lot of people dancing in a queue in front the of the sea , I dancing like being their doing music or song with my sound (sometime may be like I direct that in my imagination also acting)

I asking that because always the writers I have seen or read about or heard about is usually calm people , sink in their thinking when writing , may be for hours , ......

wish to hear your comments about the normal of that phenomena

secondly is the director have the rights to omit scenes , characters , replace other characters , change dialogues , add characters in the screenplay without the author  permission ?

Answer
aob,

I have absolutely no idea what it is that you are asking for the first question.

If you are asking me about the phenomenology of experiencing sensations during writing, I would have to suggest that you contact a psychologist and ask that person.  That is outside my knowledge.

As to your second question regarding a director, the short answer is yes.  The long answer depends on how you, or your agent, wrote your contract.
