The Importance Of Scripting:
Harry Donnelly & Hassan Abdalla
What is a Script?
• A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program.
• These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing.
• In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated.
• The script should include as much detail as possible about most aspects in the scene.
Why is it Important?
• Without the script, it would be extremely difficult to complete further tasks later on such as the storyboard and the shot list.
• The script helps to give you a rough idea of the length of the film.
• If there is no film, the script cannot go ahead.
Formatting Your Script:
• Formatting a script is not an exact science, however, there is a typical industry layout in which you could follow.
• This layout will make your work look more professional and will help you gain a rough idea about how long your film will be.
• The standard industry format usually equates to a page per minute.
These are typical examples of a script/screenplay showing dialogue and action descriptions.
