1 Writing a Shooting Script

2 Your group’s script will be a dialogue that details the story of each character in their own voice and style.

3 A screenplay is similar to a script, contains some of the same elements and is written for a movie. We know that a screenplay determines location, mood, tone and purpose.

4 However, The shooting script includes every little detail…like: All the dialogue (spoken and implied) Timing (who says what and WHEN) Details of the setting and location (for example… the wind was blowing and the leaves were moving on the sidewalk) Even where the characters are standing, sitting, and how they move in the scene Where the camera is located, the angles and any notes about how the movie should be shot The shooting script lays out the story in the most complete way – down to the way a character’s expressions look and how that affects the plot, how the mood feels and why it is important– the shooting script should answer every question!

5 Shooting Script Screenplay

6 The written script will become the voiceover and the narration of your story. It will be your job to express meaning and insight since through the dialogue of your characters.

7 We will be sharing our scripts along the way! Don’t worry, we will all be supportive with our encouragement and constructive criticism and we will help each other through the process. This might be exciting for you or it might cause you anxiety,. Let’s be kind to each other (and to ourselves) as we make mistakes. Remain open to suggestions from your group and from other students – and be patient – remember most big-screen successes take years to develop!

8 Reading your group’s script aloud will help YOU find the voices of your characters. Listen to your writing style and to the writing styles of others. Does it represent the way you speak? Revise the sentences and vocabulary choices until the story flows and keeps your audience interested! This process will also allow you to see any logistical mistakes, needed location changes and necessary movements.

9 Let’s make the rubric for this assignment. You all need to be in charge of the expectations. I have a guide to help us along the way…..\..\Sample_Rubric_Claymati on.doc
