Role of Scripting For Digital Filmmaking

  Role of Scripting For Digital Filmmaking 

For me, a script is very important for the overall success of a digital film. This contains all the details about the film, the sequence and the dialogues of the actors. It is very important for have a very good script. 

The Roles of a Script:

•  I believed that when I write a very good script I can gain approval and good financing from different companies who would like to sponsor the film. The script will also serve as my ticket to meeting different actors.
• The script will also identify all the persons highly needed for a particular scene and it also includes the locations, the props to be use for a particular scene.
•    I also believed that the script delivers where, when, what and how the movie should be done. Of course, it will depend on the budget and on the time of the film.
• The script also brings out the best from the actors doing the scene. The script contains all their dialogues and all required emotions that they have to feel so that they can deliver a good acting performance.
•   The script also serves as my guide in doing my storyboard. A good script can make a good story board. 
• That is why it is very important for me to conceptualize a very good idea and script to come up with a very good digital film.
•   Good script can also help me save more time and money. Why did I say that? It is simply because once I come up with a very good script then it means no revision should be done. It is because if I will not write a very good script chances are once the digital film starts shooting and some problem occur, there is a big chance for the production to start all over again and that will simply cause more money allotment. 

For me a very good script must contain the following:

·         The conflict or main plot

·         Time to be allocated for every scene

·         The sequence of the actions

·         Main characters

·         The climax( the climax is very important because I believed that in this part of the movies is where actors truly brings out the best out of them. This is also the scene where the protagonist and the antagonist are doing the intense confrontation.

·         The resolution of the plot

·         And the script also contains the relationship of each character and what are the roles they are playing in the story. 

 

Many scriptwriters can write script in just a short period of time, well maybe because of their experience and their tenure for the position. I believe that a good scriptwriter writes from the heart and that will definitely come out with the script they are writing. There is no formula in writing a script and I think if there is one in particular, I would say that it should be done with lots of passion and integrity. A very good scriptwriter must be very hands-on on their writings. It is very important that everything you will write there is based from the concept of the story and the will definitely catch people’s heart.
