TASK 9: Yr 12- AUDIO VISUAL Script Writing

Script Writing 

For this task you need to begin write the script for your products (TV/chat show/radio)

Step 1-  Before you begin writing you need to analyse examples of real media scripts and research what the conventions are for a script for your chosen products .

You should then explain what you have found from your research and how you will use this when you come to write your own.

Step 2- Writing your script. This should be detailed.

This should act as step-by-step guide for what you ideally want to show in your product. You should include:

• A description of the setting of each scene

• Any dialogue which might be used

• The script of your voiceover (if you are going to use one)

• Where names of actors/directors will appear

• All types of sound - diegetic and non diegetic/ soundtracks/ voiceovers/ dialogue

• Stage directions -where will your characters stand? How will the speak? What emotions should the convey through facial expressions?

• Stretch- Theory: How might you apply theory to your script? (E.g. ‘Todorov’s Narrative structure’)

REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR TIMINGS

You should set this out in the style of a script 

Also feel free to upload your draft versions of your script to show how your ideas develop.

Here is an example of a TRAILER script from ‘Zero Hour’-
