One of the greatest problems with creating a film is when you have to work with others. Everyone has their own experiences and when you write the script you are basing the action on your own experience.
When you say "walk through the door", you have an action visualized in your head. Its more than just walking thought the door, you have a speed, body position, body language, style of entry, etc. All of these are being pictured in your mind. But when someone else reads "walk through the door", they visualize what you are saying differently. They are forming a similar but different way of doing the action. No two people will ever visualize a written action the exact same way, especially if the writing is not very descriptive.
This is why you need to be very descriptive when you write your script. You need to describe how you want that person to do the action. There is a big difference between "walk though the door" and "walk timidly through the door, scraping along the door frame, clutching her books to her chest and holding her head down as if afraid to make eye contact with anyone in the room." or "marched brazenly into the room, chest out, eyes bright searching for a competitor to test his competitiveness against, swinging his arms at his sides as if he was on the parade ground." These are two extremely different images and yet they both mean "walk through the door".
Even when you are being more descriptive there will still be differences in the way the writer, the director, and the actor visualize the action, but now they are small differences which are easier to work out while filming. A good writer will include enough information to give the desired action but leave some interpretation so others can make the action their own.

with my scripts i had trouble with figuring out what shot i wanted. i didnt know if i wanted full, medium, or close up.
Some problems that i had was getting the clips in order from start to end. Another problem i had was adding the music on bu ti figured it out so it was easy after that
the only problems i have had were 2 put them in order an geting them 2 work out
The only problems i have had was getting them in order and making them work.
the promblem of writing a scrip is that we did not know what to write adout in it had to be scary in thats the hard part???????????????
The problem for us was that wen I wrote the script i had everything in order but wen others read it they did it all different from wat i was planning.The other problem was that we didn't get exacly wat we wanted for the action.
The problem was I didnt really understand on how to write it. Also on what kind of things to come up with. Probably becuase I dont really have an imagination.!
i had many diffculites writting my script because me and my partner could not agree on what the story should be about that was one of my problem my other issue was getting me and my partner could not be here on the same days because one of us would e here and the other one could not be here are we both be gone that was my diffcluties
The problem was that I didn't understand the script we worked on. And what the script said we had to film.
like putting the part were it says were too shoot from it kinnda confuses me.
