Our Shooting Script

A shooting script is used in production, mainly by the director so it is clear of the shot number, which is useful if you do not film the scenes in order, the location where the shot is filmed, the type and angle of the shot, the length of the shot, description of action, actors and equipment needed for certain shots. It is vital that it is clear and easy to follow.

This week we had to complete our own shooting script which contains all the information about the shots in our opening sequence. It includes, the type of shot, length of shot, any movement, description of action, music and SFX and the credits that will be shown. This allowed us to consider what we wanted to show in our opening sequence, and think about how long each shot will be so we keep the opening sequence at two minutes or under. This week we had to complete a shooting script which contains all the information about the shots in our opening sequence.

The shooting script has allowed us to plan our opening to an extent where we know exactly what we want it to look like.
