(Redirected from Scripting)

Script is a term that refers to a written work by a writer or group of writers for a play, movie, or broadcast. Scripts are used in a variety of fields, including theatre, film, television, and radio. They serve as the blueprint for productions, providing instructions for actors, directors, and production staff.

Overview[edit | edit source]

A script, also known as a screenplay in the context of film and television, is a piece of writing that outlines every aural, visual, behavioral, and lingual element required to tell a story. Because film is a highly collaborative medium and the director, cast, editor, and production crew will, based on the script, interpret their duties, a script must be written in a specific format and in a language that is universally understood.

Types of Scripts[edit | edit source]

There are several types of scripts, including:

  • Theatrical script: This is used in the production of a play. It includes dialogue, stage directions, and notes for sound and lighting.
  • Screenplay: This is used in the production of a film or television show. It includes dialogue, descriptions of settings and characters, and camera directions.
  • Radio script: This is used in the production of a radio broadcast. It includes dialogue, sound effects, and music cues.

Scriptwriting[edit | edit source]

Scriptwriting or screenwriting is the art and craft of writing scripts for mass media such as feature films, television productions, or video games. It is often a freelance profession.
