Script Writing | Video Production Course | Storytelling
By Reece's Tech Shop by Scott Reece
As a video production teacher, one of the most important parts of my class is to make sure that my students can write a script. Whether it’s the script for the daily news show or the script for a short film, the process is still the same...it’s basic writing. I take a week at the beginning of the semester to talk about script writing in general. Here are those plans.
Day 1 ~ Introduce the idea of movie scripts. Read some movie scripts. Links included to three movies.
Day 2 ~ Brainstorm your script. Work out details on Location.
Day 3 ~ Character Development
Day 4 ~ Introduce Synopsis
Day 5 ~ Write Synopsis and Share movie ideas
