Quick Question: Movie Credit "Written by"
4월 20, 2017일 4:08 오전시에 janarSTAFFMOD님이 게시함
In a movie, at the beginning of the end credits, it says:
"Written by person 1"
Do I contribute this person with the TMDB label "writer" or with the TMDb label "screenplay"?
Best wishes,
janar

Hi, the most straight-forward would be "writer", but "screenplay" would also work. I would choose writer in this case though.

Thanks! In which case would I choose the label screenplay? Only when it says "screenplay by" in the credits?

That would be the safe option yes. I often use "screenplay" for non-English movies where I know what the original language writing job means. For example, in Sweden they often use "manus" which is best translated to "screenplay" (the online translation wants "script", but that is a bad credit in "Crew" at the moment so not to be used.

Screenplay is also often used for derived works (based on novel/play whatever. Where the story already exists) For television that would be teleplay.
Side note haha :)

That is a great point Marr.
I never add "writer" when it's based on another source.
