Script is an essential part of production planning of film making. It tells the story of the film as well as how the shots of each scenes are directed from start to end, by using various camera transition, technical or especial effects that help particularly the production process. There are rules and guidelines of writing a script which I have followed to produce my script. These are;

1-Finding an idea this could be either Factual, Marketing, News or Documentary.
2-Developing the structure including introduction, middle and conclusion.
3-Describe the subject of an idea.
4-Identifying the timeline; How long is the film?. What is the length of each scene and what happens in between each shots?.
5- Writing the script will required the following;

  • Courier font in size 12.
  • Script printed one-sided.
  • One page will equal one minute of screen time.
  • Slug lines-where lines in each scenes begin, including INT or EXT (Interior/Indoors-Exterior/Outdoors).
  • Scene Direction-where briefly I described the scene, writing in the present tense. 
My video script was based about a short advert to promote a beauty channel in YouTube called "On Trend". This is by creating shows about fashion, beauty, health and well-being, highlighting the essential of beauty world 24/7 with the most engaging and talented people in the industry.
