Script Example

Titanic 
http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Titanic.html

From this i can see what a real movie script would look like i have researched this to help me develop my script and ensure it is clear for the actors and me as the director. Scripts are very important as they guide the actors and it also makes sure that they are conveying the directors ideas effectively.

From looking at the Titanic Script i have noticed that they are lines and precise emotions and actions the actor must be doing. The writer has done this to help the actor understand the character and the emotions they should be feeling. Also production wise is wastes less time as actors know how they should covey the character.

This screen shot is a great example of showing how scrips help the actors for example they is directions for where the actor should be looking and what character they should be addressing.This helps the directer in filming the scene as they know where cameras should be placed to create the greatest impact.

for example in this scene shot reverse shot would generally be used as both characters are talking to each other, two cameras would need to be used to get this effect.In this scene shot reverse shot is not used on the two talking charterers as Jack is looking at Rose showing his disinterest in Cal. Without these directions telling the actor what to do natural instinct would to be looking at the character you are speaking to. The director wanted the actor to look at Rose to show his fascination in her.
