SCREENWRITING TASK 2 DONE

    A radio script is very unique as none of a story can be told visually, only by sound or voice, and is usually only used to start a show. The format is very simple and should be easily understandable for the person, or persons on air. The script is usually only used to start of a radio show and the rest of the show is just dialogue from the person or persons on air. In the example of a radio script provided, the first stage of the script is the intro. This is the music or, in this case, 'indent jingle' that starts the show. The speech of the script is in a normal text, whereas and other information needed is in bold, whether that be an instruction or a way to say the next piece of dialogue. Abbreviations are another convection in radio scripts as it has a more converasastional style. An example of this in the script provided is 'we've' instead of 'we have' and 'that's' instead of 'that is'. Other conventions of radio script include writing out the words of numbers. An example of this is instead of writing '200', 'two hundred' would be wrote. This would help with the flow of speach.Punctuation is also important in radio scripts as it makes clear where pauses in speach should be. An example in the above script is 'That's going to be a classic!' 

Different to a radio script, a master scene script is the script format used in the film industry. Its design is easy to understand and key details are obvious to the potential investors. Any script includes the scene heading and any action that takes place in the scene at the top of the page. Fade In is also at the top of the page, above the scene heading and action. It includes a mixture of dialogue and description in order to allow the reader to follow the story easily, which is the most important thing, which is obvious as any technical information is very limited within a MSS format. The heading of a master scene script is known as a slug line and includes a general description of the scene; whether it is interior or exterior, the location, and time of day. The one-line description is presented in all capital letters. Interior and exterior are abbreviated as INT. and EXT., the time of day is not precise to the minute, or hour, as it is described as DAY or Night, with the occasional use of DAWN and DUSK. Unlike a novel or story, written on a master scene script should only be what can be seen and heard. This is because the character must be able to portray the way they feel, which is the actors job. This is because a movie shouldn't spoon feed the audience everything as that would be boring, and not interest the audience or make them think, or feel any emotion. Another convention of this script is the timing, in which one page must be equivalent to one minute of a film, meaning if there is 120 pages, then the movie should be roughly 120 minutes long. More conventions include that the font must be always size 12, footers on the bottom of the page read (CONTINUED) only where a scene moves from one page to another, the next page has (CONT.) at the top left, and voiceover and off-screen are used as V.O. and O.S.
