CAPTURING YOUR STORY

SCRIPTING

BRINGING HEART AND SOUL INTO VIDEO PRODUCTION

WHAT IS SCRIPTING?

Scripting is a document that communicates the narrative and message of your video. Not all videos require a script and most of the videos that we will do for you are best done without a script. We want to ensure we capture the most authentic real you on screen. However if you feel you require a script we can explore that too.

what's in a script?

SCENE DESCRIPTION

An overview of what is going to be filmed in each scene or what is happening in each scene.

DIALOGUE

What is going to be said in the video.

DIRECTIONS

What actions your talent will be doing.

CAMERA CUES

Instructions on how the video should be filmed.

POST PRODUCTION NOTES

Instructions on how the video will be edited.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCRIPTING

LET'S HAVE A TWO WAY CONVO

NO SCRIPT

For the videos that we do, this is the best way to capture what you want to say is by being in the moment and having no script. Here we focus on your key messaging and develop questions to ask you so that we can extract from you the key messaging. This way we keep things relaxed and natural and then we piece together the ‘story’ in the editing suite.

THE ART OF NARRATION

voiceover

Videos such as “how to” videos, or videos that are instructional or share statistics, facts or figures can sometimes benefit from voiceovers.

This happens once the video has been filmed and recorded in our music studio. Our producers can work with you to create a voiceover script for your video.

READING ON CUE

auto-cue

This is where you read from an auto-cue, most familiar with newsreaders and media. We like to avoid this type of scripting because it requires a certain skill set to be able to look ‘natural’ while reading. We prefer to ask you questions and have a conversation.

HOLLYWOOD STYLE

film scripts

The most common type of script for filming movies! We don’t do that here but if you are interested in filmmaking and writing Hollywood stories, then head over to our DIY Creator School to check out some of our courses.
