Script work.















  • Starting Point (edit)
  • Scene Heading
- A scene heading is a one-line description of the location and time of day of a scene, also known as a "slugline." It should always be in CAPS.
Example: EXT. WRITERS STORE - DAY reveals that the action takes place outside The Writers Store during the daytime.
  • Action
- The narrative description of the events of a scene, written in the present tense.
  • Character
- When a character is introduced, his name should be capitalized within the action. For example: The door opens and in walks LIAM, a thirty-something hipster with attitude to spare.
A character's name is CAPPED and always listed above his lines of dialogue. Minor characters may be listed without names, for example "TAXI DRIVER" or "CUSTOMER."
  • Dialogue
-          Lines of speech for each character. Dialogue format is used anytime a character is heard speaking, even for off-screen and voice-overs.
  • Transition
-Transitions are film editing instructions, and generally only appear in a shooting script. Transition verbiage includes:
CUT TO:
DISSOLVE TO:
QUICK CUT:
FADE TO:
  • Shot

- A shot tells the reader the focal point within a scene has changed.

 My Script.


Before I wrote my script up in a proper format I firstly done it in word and just drafted what i wanted the main context to be. I have took screen shots of this and put it underneath so you can see what i have done and get the main idea of my script.



I spoke with chris about the draft of my script. He gave me some feedback and some ideas on my story board. He made me think importantly about what i needed to include in my story board and how detailed it needed to be. Here is the feeback sheet from him.
