Strike-through text

I've removed "for easier reading, often avoiding camera angles, editing directions, and technical intrusions" as being one of the reasons for writing a spec script. It implies these are a necessary element of a commissioned script, which they aren't.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.21.40.253 (talk) 03:34, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For the same reason, I've also removed "...(a shooting script)" at the end of the first sentence, after, "...as opposed to one commissioned by a studio or production company." There is a difference between the two. My understanding is that a commissioned script, when submitted, does not have shot numbers or technical directions. These are added after the project has been greenlit for production, and it is then referred to as a shooting script.
