Unit 11.1 Script annotating

Unit 11.1

Book script:

Annotate for formatting:

Scenes INT/EXT, DAY/NIGHT:
INT means that the scene is being set indoors, whereas EXT is a outdoor setting. For example in the image above on the fourth line of description it says 'INT. FOLEY'S CELL. BELLE GLADE. DAY', meaning that scene is indoors in a cell during the day time.

Characters: The characters names are in capitals in the centre of the page above each speech sentence. This is telling you that character is speaking at this time.

Dialogue: The dialogue is what is being said in the scene from the characters.

Stage Directions: These are normally written in brackets or italics and are telling you what the character is doing at that time in the scene.

Descriptions: How much description is in the dialogue for the scene.

Annotated script of a scene from Game of Thrones 

Paragraph of this key terms in the images above:

indicators of genre: The use of words that are of places that aren't real and the actions of some of the 

characters: The characters each have a good amount of screen time. They all have different personality's and you can tell this by the way they speak to one another in the script.

Iconography: With this script you would expect to see a wooded area with horses and snow. In the script it does mention areas of these features.   

The use of expletives: The only word that was used was 'hell' which some people can take offence too. 

The amount the characters say: The characters say a good amount of dialogue each. They each have enough  so that it's mostly equal within the main characters of that scene. 

Radio script:

Style: For this script there is a lot of dialogue with some descriptive content scattered through out. The language isn't too formal in most parts but more casual then what it could be. 

Content: In this scene it tells you that there is a male that has been injured of some sort and has been found by two women, one being older than the other. The older lady is more forward and loud. 

narrative structure: All three characters are introduced in the first few lines of dialogue. The scene set up tells you at the beginning of the script for that certain scene.

Genre: Sci-fi as it gives hints of being in a ship.

Target Audience: I would say that for this the target audience would be over 25 as the normal audience would be adults as it attracts them more with the content they show.

Movie script

Little Miss Sunshine

(The intro of the movie)

Style: For the introduction there isn't much dialogue but it still tells you what the movie can be about and it still introduces the characters very well with just actions and their appearance. The writing is mildly describing the beginning as it describes the outfits and what is happening in that particular scene. The language isn't too formal.

Content: In each short scene for each character it shows you what their characteristics are and how they will appear in the film.  

Narrative Structure: Each main character is introduced in the first 10 minutes. The scene sets up the beginning of each story in the characters life. For example, the son Dwayne is introduced shown lifting weights and counting down days. He then develops from not talking for months into someone that is a little more confident and actually does talk.

Genre: The genre for this movie is comedy/drama. It shows aspects of both all the way through the movie.

Target Audience: A more mature theme as it has content is children wouldn't understand
