Say Sora, there's something I've always been curious about, concerning screenwriting.
Is there a method screenwriters use to know ahead how long (in terms of minutes) their script will translate into when filmed?
General rule of thumb is that a page of the script is a minute in filmtime - doesn't matter if it's mostly dialogue or if it's mostly action. If you want to check it out, the book I had for class (and which I just referred to for this question) was Screenplay by Syd Field.
