Answers:
The story (if a movie is not based on a previous book, TV show, or movie) is just the basic plot and character info!. Often, it's written up in a short outline or summary called a treatment!. The screenplay is the full shooting script for the movie, complete with dialogue and shot-by-shot camera instructions!. Often, a studio will buy a story (as described above) from a writer, then hire another writer to flesh that story into a full screenplay, which is why the names may differ in the credits!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Well the story could be like the book it was adapted from!. A lot of times the story has to be condensed down into a script!. It has to take the flowery description of actions and compact it down into something just straight forward and simple!.

The story is the story!. The script is the adaptation of the story to fit the screen medium!. Www@Enter-QA@Com
