Remember this!
Screenplay and script are both written works that tell a story and are meant to be performed on screen or stage. However, the difference between them lies in their medium, format, emphasis on visuals, collaboration, and production stages. Screenplay is specifically for film or television, has a specific format, emphasizes visual storytelling, and is often a collaborative effort used in pre-production stages. Script, on the other hand, is for stage productions, can vary in format, focuses more on dialogue and stage directions, and may be written by a single author and used throughout the production process.
