==Plot outline==
A retroscripted [[Screenplay|script]] contains a [[Plot (narrative)|plot]] outline and leaves dialogue deliberately vague for interpretation by the actors through [[Improvisational theatre|improvisation]]. Retroscripting can add strong [[Realism (dramatic arts)|realism]] and [[characterization]] to dialogue, and is regularly employed in the [[Unscripted TV]] genre. Contemporary examples of television shows using this technique are ''[[Home Movies (cartoon series)|Home Movies]]'', ''[[10 Items or Less (TV series)|10 Items or Less]]'', ''[[Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist]]'', ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'', ''[[Curb Your Enthusiasm]]'', ''[[Trailer Park Boys]]'', ''[[Reno 911!]]'', ''[[Summer Heights High]]'' and ''[[Outsider's Inn]]'' as well as films by [[Christopher Guest]]. Some other films that may have contained retroscripted segments are ''[[Friday Night Lights (film)|Friday Night Lights]]'', very brief segments of ''[[S.W.A.T. (film)|S.W.A.T.]]'', ''[[Black and White (1999 film)|Black and White]]'', and some of the films of [[Robert Altman]], who was known as an actor's director and referred to a screenplay as merely a "blueprint" for the action. The director John Cassavetes, sometimes known as the "father" of independent film, used retroscripting most notably for his films Husbands and Faces, although he employed the technique to some degree in most of his films. [[Stanley Kubrick]] employed retroscripting in his film [[Dr. Strangelove]], incorporating [[Peter Sellers]]' [[ad-lib]]bed lines into the script.
