An important element in scriptwriting is to develop your character(s) as a whole person(s). Not just for the plot of the movie, but as a whole human being. Your character should have a backstory and not just for the hell of it, but because everyone has a backstory. Everyone has a past. And for your character to be believable and for the actor to make the character three dimensional, they need a backstory. This will give you, the director, and the actor an understanding of how the character will react to different situations. How they will feel about certain people and certain situations. The director and the actor will probably have better communication on set because they both have a detail understanding of the character’s personality.
So that is just one thing to think about when writing your script. Give your character(s) a past and a present and the future will play out on the screen.
