Task 4 Flynn 1

Scripts are the foundations of a screenplay that represent the characters, scenes, and emotions. There are several types of scripts including spec scripts written without pay, off-book scripts that deviate slightly from the show format, and stunt scripts that deliberately break rules to get noticed. Screenwriters should also be familiar with canon scripts that refer to typical or best scripts in a genre. Storyboards are the visual concepts of how a scene should look, usually drawn in rectangle boxes to illustrate positions, shadows, props, and settings. Arrows and other symbols are used to indicate camera movements like panning or zooming. Annotations provide extra details about each shot.

Task 4

Scripts:
Scripts are the ‘foundations’ of a screenplay. They are the ideas of the producer that are put
into word form which then needs to come to life through the actor. A script is the basic tone
of the film structure that represents the character, the scene and the emotions. A
screenplay script will include a scene heading located at the top of the page, scene numbers
along the side of the page, the action/description of the scene, the transition required, the
dialogue of the scene meaning the lines needed to be said, the parenthetical (how the line
should be said), the shot type, the intercut and the subheadings. There are also multiple
types of scripts that a screenwriter should know. The first is a spec script, Spec is an
abbreviation for speculative. It refers to any script that is written without pay in the hopes
of securing a paid writing assignment or becoming a staffed writer on a TV show. The
second type of script is an off-book script. This type of script is for screenwriters who want
to get a little more daring and show off their individual flair. It is a slight deviation from the
established format of the show. It will probably get you noticed, but it will never be
produced. Another type of script is a stunt script, this is a high risk, outlandish attempt at
getting noticed as a screenwriter. It’s gimmicky and deliberately breaks all the screenwriting
rules. If you’re writing a TV spec script, do everything you’re not supposed to such as writing
a script for a cancelled show, being boorish, and generally writing a script that is so off the
wall, it will get you noticed. A further script is the on the bubble script. This is generally a TV
term used to define a show awaiting its renewing fate. It can refer to mature TV series that
have been running for several years or a newer show that has failed to gain the required
traction. Screenwriters are generally advised to avoid writing these scripts even if they are
of high quality. Moreover, a screenwriter needs to know a canon script. A canon is a group
of texts considered an authority on a subject. It is derived from the Greek word for rule. In
the screenwriting terms, canon scripts refer to typical or the best scripts in a genre.

Storyboards:
Storyboards are the visual concepts of how the producer would like the scene to look. They
can be drawn by anyone and they are usually drawn in the shape of the shot used for
example a close up shot. They tend to be drawn in rectangle boxes. The storyboards include
illustrations that outline the positions, shadows, props and settings. The storyboards could
tell you where the scene is headed through the use of arrows. For example, an arrow
pointing to the left throughout the drawing could mean that the shot is panning to the left.
Other semiotics are used such as smaller rectangular boxes are used to indicate where the
shot is headed, for e.g. zooming in or out or even dollying. Story boards tend to have room
for annotations around the side which allow for extra detail and clarification about the shot.
