FP - Online Kickstart Course - 9. Scripts And Formats

Summary

Your script will consist of three sections:

  • Introduction: discusses who, what, and where
  • Body: solution/approach to the what that’s explained in the introduction
  • Conclusion: Result of the solution/approach

How to prepare a complete shot list for your video:

  • Write down all the questions you’ll need to ask to get the complete story from your interviewee
  • Write down all the B-roll scenes you need to illustrate the answers given during the interview

Don’t forget to shoot wide, medium, and closeups of everything that you’re shooting B-roll of!

You can use the same script for different episodes in order to create a series! We call this a format.

Eddie has a handy tool you can use to help set up your script. You can find it here.
