SCRIPTS

I have done some research into scripts as I felt it might help me when writing the script for our final coursework piece. I found many useful websites on this such as;
screenwriting.info
expertvillage.com/video-series/2794_movie-script.htm

There are many elements to remember to include when script writing:

Scene Heading - A short description of the location and time of day of a scene, also known as a "slugline." E.g.: EXT. SUBURBAN HOUSE - DAY would denote that the action takes place outside suburban house during the day time.
Action - When any character speaks, his or her name appears on the line preceding the dialogue
Dialogue
Parenthetical - an inflection to a speech noted by a writer
Extensions - A technical note placed directly to the right of the Character name that denotes how the character's voice is heard. For example, O.S. is an extension that stands for Off-Screen
Transition – It denoting an editing transition. E.g. DISSOLVE TO: means the action seems to blur and refocus into another scene, and is generally used to denote a passage of time, memory or dream.
Shot - What the camera sees. E.g. WIDE SHOT would mean that we see every character that appears in the scene, all at once
