Q&A: How to write a film story?

by maxymedia

Question by Tim: How to write a film story?
I’m planning on writing a film action/adventure story, that obviously I want to sell.
But I don’t know how should be the story formed. Apparently it shouldn’t be like a book or a novel. Maybe it should be shorter?

I’m asking because I have seen that the Story credit in a film is different from the Screenplay credit. I know the difference of those two, but I don’t know in what way should I write the STORY. So i would like to know how long should be a film story.
*I don’t want want to write a script/screenplay*

Thanks.
