Screenwriting and storyboarding T

Hedgewitch final draft

Screenwriting style Keep action and dialogue to the point Present tense Keep it VISUAL (& remember sound!) Show (don’t tell) through character’s action Its script to tell the story (action) – Avoid camera direction- for actors & funders Storyboard is for camera & crew

Basic Rules 1 page of script = 1 min screentime 12 point courier font Cover page always Scene headings – when new scene occurs Description /action Dialogue

Scene Headings WRITTEN IN CAPS INT. OR EXT. (Interior or Exterior) LOCATION DAY OR NIGHT e.g.: INT. LECTURE HALL - DAY or EXT. CYCLE PATH - NIGHT

Description or Action Brief and precise Lots of white space Break into small blocks, 5 lines approx – new camera focus or action focus CHARACTERS in capitals first time Present tense – picks up, not is picking up Show emotions through actions All SOUND in caps

Dialogue Centred on page CHARACTER’S NAME IN CAPS Dialogue indented (O.S.) indicates off screen (V.O.) indicates voiceover

Think about… Who’s story is it? Key action points Key Themes Key emotions to get across – through action & visuals Each shot or scene should have a function/give us info/build the story/create meaning

Storyboarding Who is it for? DOP, director, pitching the idea, editor, sound, producer, design Indicates how film will look – style Also how it will cut together/flow Like a paper edit – needs to work!

What is the function of a storyboard? What elements should be included? Camera angles, shot size, action, movement (of actors and camera), framing, lighting, duration Sound- dialogue, sfx, atmos, music Order of shots – remember to number! How does a storyboard relate to shot list? Pictorial representation vs list of shots
