Which is better, a screenwriter or a photographer?

There is no absolute concept about this, but directors from screenwriters and photographers have their own advantages in being directors.

The director from the screenwriter background will be better than the general director in the rhythm and drama conflict of the whole film and television drama, that is, the story, and he will have a holistic and flexible thinking power of the story. Relatively speaking, the works produced by the director from the screenwriter background will express the story better.

A director with a photographic background will have a better grasp of the details and shots of the whole film and television drama, because a director with a photographic background will pay more attention to the aesthetic feeling and scheduling of the shots, so the works shot by a director with a general photographic background will have relatively more advantages in appreciation.

Therefore, whether the director who is a screenwriter or a director who is a photographer is stronger depends on what you personally think is stronger, the works that focus on story expression or the works that focus on camera sense expression.
