  1. Scripting Once the proposal is accepted, it’s time to script it. The script is the master plan that details the elements of your program, from the razzle-dazzle open to the final credits. (It’s kind of like a blueprint for a house!) A script provides a point of common reference for everyone involved, from the crew to the video’s financiers. The script serves as a checklist and lets everyone know precisely what will be in your video. The more detailed the script is, the easier the following steps become.

  2. ScriptsThe script is the heart of your video production.

  3. A Video script includes every element of the videoNot just the spoken word

  4. Video script writing is the exact opposite from technical writing or academic writing. Those forms of writing use complex sentences, and are usually very wordy. That is NOT what you want with a video script.

  5. A video script is to be read aloud. Viewers will HEAR it rather than READ it.

  6. The script is the primary document that the director uses to make the video…….

  7. and to keep it organized.

  8. video on the left column audio on the right column,

  9. Scripts include… Camera shots (MS,CU,ECU…) Transitions.(cut, dissolve, fade…) Camera directions (i.e., PAN, ZOOM). Music and sound effects Voiceovers or narration Anything you need to tell the story!!!!

  10. Transitions Cuts - instantaneous changes from one scene to the next, "Cut to...." Dissolves - where two scenes momentarily overlap during a transition from one to the other fade-out and fade-in - fade-out consists of transition from a picture to black and silence;  , a fade-in is the opposite

  11. film scripts or dramatic usually start with fade in and close with fade out.  Fade-ins and fade-outs within the production can signal a major change or division within the story structure, such as a passage of time.

  12. Camera Movements DollyThe camera is mounted on a cart which travels along tracks for a very smooth movement. Dolly ZoomA technique in which the camera moves closer or further from the subject while simultaneously adjusting the zoom angle to keep the subject the same size in the frame. FollowThe camera physically follows the subject at a more or less constant distance. Pan Horizontal movement, left and right. Pedestal (Ped)- Moving the camera position vertically with respect to the subject. Tilt- Vertical movement of the camera angle, i.e. pointing the camera up and down (as opposed to moving the whole camera up and down). Truck -Another term for tracking or dollying, but left to right Zoom- a change in the lens focal length with gives the illusion of moving the camera closer or further away.

  13. Camera shots . Wide Shot (WS) Shows whole body or space. Establish scene or setting, allow room for action.

  14. Medium Shot(MS)Shows subject roughly from waist up. Very commonly used shot.

  15. Close Up (CU) Shows enlarged view of part of subject.Draws attention to details and adds emotion

  16. Questions Why do we need a script? What kind of formats are there? What elements are included in a script?
