 Script-Writing

when filming a movie you'll always need to have a script to know what you are filming but components do you need to make a script.

Components 

• Scene Heading 
• Character Name 
• Dialogue 
• Parenthetical 
• Extensions
• Transition/shots 

Scene Heading

One of the easiest parts of writing a script is writing the scenes headings for each scene. When writing a your headings for your script the heading should always be in caps. The scene heading tell where the scene is going to take place. When it says INT the scene is inside if it says (EXT) it is outside. It basically is telling you the time of day and specific location.

Character 

When making your script you have to have your character name in it, and it has to be all caps just like how the scene heading has it. Character names are important because they show who is speaking in the dialogue in each scene.

Dialogue

When writing a script, you would always need dialogue when the characters speak. Dialogue tells what the character needs to say during filming and voiceovers/voices when not on screen.

Parenthetical

Parenthetical gives detail to what the character is speaking. A parenthetical describes how a character says things or what they're doing while they're saying it.

Extensions

Extensions also like parenthetical gives extra detail to the script. An extension is a note after a character's name in brackets that describes how the audience will hear something.

Transitions and Shots

Shooting and editing notes include transitions and shot notes to show how two scenes should be edited together in the final version, shot. a short note will further specify the type of shot to use when filming a scene.
