Science Fair Proposal

Hypothesis: If a screenplay is bought for a lot of money then the film produced from it will earn a big profit.

Dependent variable: Profit earned from film
Independent variable: Price at which screenplay is bought for
Control variables: Prices at which screenplays are bought for will vary? (I think that is a control?)

My EQ is centered around what makes a good screenplay and if there is a relationship between the price of a screenplay and the profit of the final product then I could pinpoint these screenplays and examine the qualities they have have in common to better answer my question. This sounds pretty straight forward, but my problem with it is that my definition of 'good' screenplay is not neccessarily 'what sells best'; i feel this brings my projet closer to that though.

I was going to do a lot of research and crunch numbers, makes graphs etc. in order to find some relationship between the two.

I really have no idea what category it falls under... behavioral and social science maybe? I say that only because people are buying screenplays for what they think they're worth.
