I wonder if you write descriptions in a screenplay the same way you write in a novel. For example, I see writers describe the physical effects of the emotion of anger rather than just saying 'angry', do we do the same thing in a screenplay? Or do we just say the emotion and let the actor act it out in his way? What exactly should we do? Another example is when we write character thoughts in a novel, can we do the same in a screenplay? Again what should we do in this situation? Basically what are the differences and similarities between writing these kinds of things for a screenplay and for a novel?
