A creative matrix is used in films and television programs. Screenwriting usually need to collect aspects from these to attract people. Every screenwriter has to deal with writing various sorts of elements whether they like it or dislike it. There would be no point in screenwriting if one cannot be interested in only one element of screenplay.
