Transforming your Script into a Shooting Script

By now you should have a pretty solid script written for your video profile. The script forms the majority of the audio for your video profile but now I want you to think of the visuals (video, photographs, graphics, text etc) which will illustrate and reinforce what you are saying in your script.

So you need to put your script into a two column table. Call column one Audio and column two pictures. Then cut and paste your script into the audio column, as shown below. For each line of your script you now need to write down what images you are going to cover the audio with, take a look at the script below.

Shooting Script for Video Profile

Hi my name is Shakirah,

Montage of shots of me, close up on eyes, mouth etc.

I am studying sonic arts at City of Westminster college.

Pan across sign outside of college. Shots of students working in classrooms and hanging out in common rooms.

When I am older I would like to be a recording artists and own my own record label.

Shots of students recording music, rapping into a microphone, shots of technical equipment, faders, nobs etc

Add in as much detail as possible to your shooting script. Try and clearly describe what your video will look like, what music you will be using, and the shooting style and pace of your video.

The shooting script will be assessed as a single criteria so you really need to put some time and effort into it and make it the best it can be. Please upload your shooting script to your blog for assessment.

Here are some links to other shooting scripts:

We shall begin filming your video profiles in the afternoon. So practice trying to remember your scripts ahead of filming.
