Script Breakdown

Edited Script from Zeel Sanatkumar

From this activity I have learnt that the main task for a script is not only to ensure that the actors know what to say however, he script assist several other job roles such as the director, editor, cinematographer, the sound etc. Furthermore, it shows us how much accurate the script has to be in order to fulfil everyone' job roles; subsequently The screenplay is the guide for the Producers, Director, Actors, Crew of exactly what will appear on screen.  It is the common ground that everybody on the film will work with from start to finish of production.It tells the complete story, contains all action in the film and all dialogue for each character. It can also describe characters visually so filmmakers can try to capture their style, look or vibe.Since the script is the blueprint for the movie or TV show it also the best predictor of cost. Making a film takes careful planning of the budget and cost estimation can best be gleamed from the script. For example if the script calls for scenes that only CGI can accommodate the producers know they are in for a bigger budget. If the film is mostly dialogue driven, with no special effects and limited locations the budget should be much low!! The script also goes a long way in determining the schedule of your film. The schedule of the film  is important because it has a direct impact on the budget. A common cause for budget overruns is when their are disruptions or rescheduling that needs to be done. This is all meticulously planned out before hand using the script as a guide.
