Instructions
On the following page is a blank table in script format. The rows number
themselves automatically, so you can insert or delete rows as the project
requires by selecting a row or rows then right-clicking within the
selection and clicking on “insert rows or “delete rows”. You can also move
rows by dragging
The Video column is for descriptions of visuals and should include camera
directions, transition descriptions and anything else visually important.
You can also insert graphics to better illustrate or storyboard the script.
The Audio column is for narration, and music and audio f/x descriptions and
direction. The narration should be clearly distinguished from the audio
notes (usually the narration in each scene begins with NARR: and the other
audio notes are in parentheses or italics, or a different color). The
point is to make the narration easy enough to spot that the narration can
be read without requiring the reader to search through confusing text. The
Audio column is also set to 1.5 spacing – this leaves room for notes.
