I can see that for scene structure; does screenwriting talk about it on any other level? (Since screenplays don't really have "paragraphs" or "chapters" in the way prose fiction does.)
I'm also beginning to really wonder about the influence of screenwriting on prose fiction. I give the example above of that particular the rapid-cut pov switch, but I suspect there's also a fair number of authors who don't really know any way to lead into or out of a scene other than the screen-based way, which often tends to be "get right to the point, get out the instant it's done."
