The Low Budget Walk.

One of the major flaws in low budget movies is walking.   The audience is forced to sit through long periods of watching the characters walk from here to there.  Normal movies don't have this because they have enough story to fill the whole hour and half.   Low budget movie makers are so focused on their lighting and angles and the craft of making film    It may be that they are so in love with the craft that they can see the beauty in someone going for a walk and they feel that their technique will truly make each walk about an artistic statement in and of itself.  Another possibility is that they forget the most important ingredient: the screenplay. It may not be the fault of the producers though.   The problem may lie in the fact that Hollywood buys scripts.  Screenwriting is actually a lucrative vocation simply because if you write a good script it will sell.  You can write an amazing novel and it might never be published but if you write a good script you will probably sell it.    The reason I'm thinking this is that studios can afford to just buy every good script.  The big issue though is will you ever see it made into a movie.   It may be that you don't actually sell the script unless they actually do make a movie.   Actually you may be able to live off something called the "option"  apparently you get paid while the studio has the option of using your script during which you can't make that script into a movie.  If this is the case there should be enough scripts for low budget movies.   Maybe they aren't willing to shell out more than what a writer would get for a an option.   I don't know because I've been thinking that the reason low budget movies don't use screenplays is because they get sold into a black hole of the studio and the studio gets all the rights to it and all most writers ever see of that script is the money they were paid for it.
If you edit out the walking how long would most low budget movies be?
