shooting script

A shooting script is a detailed version of a screenplay used during the production of a film or television show. It includes specific instructions on camera angles, shot compositions, lighting, and sound, as well as precise dialogue and action sequences. Unlike a standard script, which focuses mainly on the story and dialogue, a shooting script is formatted to guide the crew in capturing each scene effectively. It often contains production notes, scene numbers, and technical details to facilitate the filming process, ensuring everyone involved understands their roles and the director’s vision clearly.
