differences between screenplay and shooting script

[md]

for all of ptas films, does he just write a shooting script since he intends to direct what he writes..or does he initially write a traditional screenplay with no camera cues and then he writes the shooting script?

[Ghostboy]

Judging by what's been released, he writes whatever he wants. All the camera angles and notes and actors' names are in there from the get go, I think.

md, don't quote me on this, but I believe he writes the shooting script from the very start of his writing process...and since he directs his own stuff too, it would make sense.

does it make sense to you?
and hows that working for you?
believing in something...

There's no screenplay that survives the shooting times healthy, influences like money and producers can change all the contents just in seconds, it's a matter of luck to get it right done.  Taxi Driver was a huge exception.

Amen, indeed.

Write the way you write.
Write what comes, as it comes.
Always say yes.
What you write doesn't belong to anyone but you.
Please yourself.
