documentary script

A documentary script is a written guide that outlines the spoken narration, interviews, and visuals for a documentary film or program. It provides structure and flow, detailing what the narrator will say, when visuals will appear, and how scenes connect. The script ensures the story is clear, accurate, and engaging, coordinating all elements to effectively communicate information or tell a story. It serves as a roadmap for producers, directors, and editors to create a cohesive and compelling final product.
