What is script writing
A script is a blueprint for a film, television, or video game production. It uses sparse prose and technical language to describe visual elements and convey characters' thoughts through action and symbolism rather than directly. A script is around 90-120 pages in Courier font, with each page equating to about one minute of screen time. Comedies tend to be shorter at 90 pages while dramas are longer at 120 pages. Effective scripts focus on a protagonist the audience can empathize with, include a difficult but attainable goal for the protagonist, and bring the story to a satisfying conclusion.
Screenwriting - Lesson 1 - Introduction
A screenplay is a written work that describes the shots and scenes in a movie. It teaches how films are constructed as carefully crafted stories meant to elicit specific emotions, similar to books. Understanding screenwriting gives insight into how movies are created and allows writers to feel empowered in completely controlling a film's story. A screenplay follows a particular format and deals in visual elements and pieces of filmed action rather than internal thoughts, so writers must show rather than tell to visualize what will appear on screen.

Diegetic and non diegetic sounds
Diegetic sounds originate from within the scene and are naturally occurring, like character voices or object sounds. Non-diegetic sounds are added in post-production and don't originate from within the scene, like narration, music, or amplified sound effects. The distinction depends on the audience understanding of natural versus added sounds, and diegetic and non-diegetic conventions can be used to surprise audiences, as in comedies. Footsteps in a chase scene would be non-diegetic and recreated/amplified in post, to create a sense of panic for characters fleeing. Background music is also non-diegetic and meant to represent the teens' lives in the full film.

What is drama
Drama is a story enacted on stage for a live audience. It originated in ancient Greece as plays written to honor Dionysus, the god of wine. A drama uses plot, characters, conflict, and resolution similar to a story, with complications building tension until the climax resolves the conflict. Tragedies typically end unhappily and focus on serious themes, while comedies end happily and center on romantic plots. Modern drama experiments with form and focuses on ordinary people and personal issues. A play is brought to life through its performance, using elements like staging, acting, costumes, and props to transform the script into a shared theatrical experience for actors and audience.
Comedy Genre Conventions
This document outlines several conventions of comedy genre films. Comedies are typically set in suburban areas like schools and bars that are happy and sunny.

Semiotic analysis involves examining signs like characters, props, and backgrounds to understand their denotations and cultural connotations, and how they relate through paradigmatic and syntagmatic relationships to construct meaning.

The document discusses different script formats used in various media including Master Scene Script for films, Shooting Scripts for production, Radio Scripts, and Video Game Scripts. Master Scene Script is the standard format for films and includes scene headings, narrative descriptions in paragraphs, and dialogue. Shooting Scripts include more details for production like scene numbers and camera angles. Radio Scripts rely heavily on dialogue and use indications to show emotion and tone. Video Game Scripts are nonlinear and use flowcharts to map choices and their consequences, while the scripts account for variable outcomes.

Methods in language teaching
1. The document discusses several methods of language teaching: Grammar-Translation Method, Direct Method, Audio-Lingual Method, Cognitive-Code Method, The Natural Approach, Total Physical Response, Suggestopedia, and Communicative Language Teaching.
2. It analyzes each method based on requirements for optimal input such as making input comprehensible, interesting, not grammatically sequenced, in sufficient quantity, and at a low affective filter level.
3. The analysis finds that Suggestopedia comes closest to meeting all the requirements for optimal input by lowering affective filters, allowing subconscious language acquisition, and putting grammar learning in its proper place instead of overemphasizing it.
