Actually, no. That makes absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever. When you're writing music, you're writing notes and pauses and all that stuff. When you're writing a movie, you're writing a script. It's as simple as that - to say the script is the most important thing in a movie (spoiler: it is) is like saying the composition is the most important thing in a song (spoiler: it also is). Lyrics don't fit anywhere in this comparison, as they're something that has no real impact on the music itself (in fact music doesn't always need lyrics), only on whatever extra meaning a writer is trying to convey on top of the music, which has no meaning other than the itself. Of course depending on what the movie is trying to do, maybe the script will be more or less emphasized - but even in a movie where the script isn't as "important", it's still important that it'll be written in a way that enhances the movie instead of detracting from it. For example, Alien is a movie that doesn't put too much focus on the script, yet the script itself is amazing because it takes advantage of what the movie is trying to be. |
Not at all, the equivalent of writting notes in music is drawing a storyboard in cinema. Cinema is an art that relies on images in movement way more than in words, again, literature and cinema are not the same.
