  3. Shooting Script Steps • 1. Number each scene sequentially • 2. Mark the script – how every line of dialogue and action will be shot • Actions/lines may be covered by more than one shot (common) • Action overlapping – extend the multiple angles before and after specified shots 3. Assign a letter in alphabetical order to every shot in each scene

  4. Overhead Diagrams • A.K.A. Floor Plan • Bird’s eye view of each scene • Identifies camera placement, actor blocking, props, etc • Each scene and shot are in relationship to the shooting script • Maintains continuity and 180-degree principle
