Stepping pages is a metaphor that we use for the pages of a non-written screenplay. As it happens, even though the screenplay may be written, the film isn’t produced. These contrasts betweenthe real and the virtual world, which are still of greater interest than what is offered by the newtechnologies applied to the world of films, set up the basics that develop the reflections about thework of scriptwriters. The blank pages obey a silence that is conditioned by the expectations on thefilm we want to watch. In the audiovisual area, the figure of the scriptwriter is shown in order to crossover its stepping pages, from the creator’s shore of silence to the expectations of the public. Newareas, like North American and British television series, video games, interactive films or collaborativeprojects in the Internet, that became closer to the cinematographic aesthetics and narrative, assumethe challenges not trodden for the creative screenplay writing. The articles in this volume, written byprofessionals (directors, screenplay writers and screenplay consultants or script doctors) as well asby those who study the subject (critics and analysts), all of them belonging to the Hispanic world,even though from different film industries, are trying to explore the extent of the changes producedin the work that vertebrates the audiovisual process and notice the characteristics of these and othercontemporary audiovisual narratives, just like its scenery innovations.
