But the first and most important part of their work, is the understanding of the script - what the story is about; themes, the story points; the characters.
A director is a story-teller, and be a good story-teller, you need to understand all the details about the story you are saying. There is an old expression that says that if it does not work on script, it will not work with all - and this boy is true! Understanding the history requires much effort on your part, because you need to rip apart the script to discover what it is about what works and what does not.
B) Structure
Here script is the traditional " " Three Act Structure of any story:
ACT One - The SET-UP (Boy Meets Girl)
ACT TWO - confrontation (Loses Boy-girl struggles to get its returns )
ACT THREE - RESOLUTION (Boy Gets Girl)
NOTE: There has been much discussion recently on script structure - how many acts there are in a script! Because this is not a written, of course, (and each story is always a beginning, middle and end), I will refer to all the scripts as having the traditional Three Act Structure. Even television scripts follow the three Law structure - they are only divided into law breaks because that is where the trading range.
Here " is a general guide to " physical structure of TV scripts:
1) half-hour Episodic TV (22-25 pages and two acts)
2) an hour Episodic TV (50 - 65 pages and Four Acts)
3) two hour TV Movie (100 - 110 pages and Seven Acts)
Television scripts can also be spread over a Teaser and using a Tag. So, a TV script for one hour could be divided like this:
a. Teaser
b. An act
c. Act two
d. Act three
e. Act four
f. Tag
C) Script Review
When you get your first script, find a very pleasant and only read it through once - from start to finish. His first pass is to get an idea of what is on the history, where he is held and who are the characters. This is when you form their first impression of history and is probably the only time you will never enjoy the script as a story - because from now is all work!
Then, read the script again (and again, and again ...) and begin making notes and jotting down the answers to the following questions:
1) what is the plot? (what is the story about)
2) which is the theme? (what is the message)
3) What is the logic? (the story does not make sense)
4) which is the exposure? (what are people doing / thinking)
5) which is the complication? (which is the drama of history)
6) that creates the tension? (vai what happens next)
7) which is the main issue? (what problem is being solved)
8) which is the main action? (the event grabs the audience)
9) What is the cause of action? (what happens with the main character)
10) which is the action? (the answer to the main question)
11) which is the conclusion? (how the story end)
12) Who is the protagonist? (the main character)
13) Who is the antagonist? (could be one or more characters)
14), which is the most interesting character? (not always the main character)
15), makes the story takes place? (location, time period)
D) Scene Analysis
Once you have an understanding of what is on the story, then you need to examine each individual scene in the script.
1) what is the intention of the scene? (which is used for dramatic scene)
2) what are the points PLOT? (points to go ahead with history)
3) which is the climax of each scene? (which is the turning point)
4) which is the resolution? (as is the issue resolved)
5) which is the conclusion? (how the final scene)
4) what are the important LINES OF DIALOGUE? (story contain points)
5), which controls the character scene? (who pushes the story forward)
6) what are the beats / UNIT changes? (where that history is changing directions)
E) Other structural elements
Here is a partial list of some other elements that you need to look at the breakdown during your script:
1) provide
2) applicants reasons
3) scene transitions
4) counterpoint
5)
6 repetition) contrast
7) clarity of information
8) action and stunts
9) comedy scenes
10) special effects (explosions etc.)
11) visual effects (CGI, green screen etc.)
12) localities
F) In conclusion
Your script breakdown will be a never-ending process. Each time you read the script, you discover something different about the story or the characters.
The script will evolve constantly. She vai change because of its creativity notes - Writer changes - actor changes - producer changes - changes network - and on the location and the availability and on ...
As long as you know what the story is about the history and where you are going, you can adjust to any changes.
