The Script

What's a Script? including some examples.

All films need a script. Scripts are a pieces of written work wrote by the screen writer for a film, video game or television. The script include vital information for the film such as movements, actions, expressions and dialogue of the characters and also narrators. The format of a screenplay is normally structures in a way that one page usually covers 1 minute of screen time and each scene is numbered. 
Below is a example of a script template.

One of the common things in script writing is that there need to be a brief description about the setting and location so the filmmakers can get a feel of what atmosphere is being brought across. For example is the scene inside or outside, what time period is it set and also what scene it is. When it comes to script writing it is important that new characters being introduced should be wrote in CAPITAL LETTERS so that it is clear to the reader that this is a new person.
