Writing a TV script
One of our assignments this year is to write a TV script.
First you will need to decide what type of programme you want to write for:
The TV news
Current Affairs
A natural history programme (about plans or animals)
A culture programme (music, arts, drama)
A comedy
Now, write your script?
No!
Now, watch the type of programme that you are going to write a script for. What do you notice? What are you going to have to remember? How many people are presenting/acting/speaking? How many cameras are being used? Are there graphics or special effects?
Watch the programme and take notes that you think will help you.
