A scriptment is a written work by a movie or television screenwriter that combines elements of a script and treatment, especially the dialogue elements, which are formatted the same as in a screenplay. It is a more elaborate document than a standard draft treatment. A lengthy scriptment may resemble a script sufficiently to be used as the basis for qualifying the writer to receive or share a screenplay credit, as opposed to just a story credit. Some films have been shot using only a scriptment. == Origin == The term "scriptment" was originally coined by filmmaker James Cameron, possibly during his early involvement in the development of the ''Spider-Man'' film series. In that effort, after the success of his 1984 film ''The Terminator'', Cameron wrote a 57-page scriptment for the first proposed ''Spider-Man'' film, which was used by screenwriter David Koepp to write the first draft, incorporating it nearly word for word.〔 "After the success of ''The Terminator,'' Cameron was announced as writer and director of a $60 m big-screen adaptation of the comic book classic. But thanks to a tangled web of litigation, studio bankrupticies, and wrangling over screenplay credits, that movie never saw light. . . . What remains, however, is Cameron's tantalising 57-page Spidey 'scriptment', a compacted screenplay-cum-narrative that mapped out his entire film in brief. . . . Koepp's first draft is taken often word-for-word from Cameron's story, though later versions were heavily rewritten by numerous screenwriters. Despite this—and much to Cameron's chagrin— Koepp's name is the only one on the screenplay."〕 Cameron's scriptment for ''Titanic'' (1997) was 131 pages.〔 〕 The term became more widely known when Cameron's 1994 scriptment for the 2009 film ''Avatar'' was leaked on the internet during pre-production, although other directors, such as John Hughes and Zak Penn, had written scriptments before. The scriptment for ''Avatar'' (2009) and its notoriety caused the spread of the term.〔 "This 80-page scriptment was about a paralysed man who can control an alien body with his mind. It flowed out of him, wrote itself in just two weeks."〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「scriptment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
