Writing A Script: Unit Penyiaran Pendidikan

A script writer must visualize the story and craft it with words. A treatment is a document that outlines key details like the idea, target audience, production style, structure and budget to help sell the concept. Effective script writing for educational television involves thorough research, clear and concise language, and considering the target audience, learning context and objectives. The script structure should hook viewers, provide context, demonstrate concepts, reinforce learning, and conclude the segment. Writers must critique their own work objectively and make revisions to improve clarity, engagement and impact.

• Commentary is delivered at the rate of
two words per second.
• So, in 1 minute of television you can
deliver 120 words.
TECHNIQUE
The golden rule of scripting is to
o use as few words as possible
o keep them as simple as
possible
TECHNIQUE
The test is to read the words
out loud and to ask yourself:

o Was that easy to read?


o Was it clear?
o Will people get it the first time?

Finally…
1 You must know how to discover your own
imperfections
2 You must judge your own work as if it is
someone else’s work
3 Point out places where the script is weak,
dull and draggy
4 Set your script aside for a few days so you
can look at it more objectively after it is
‘cold’ and make the necessary
corrections.
