Assignment 3: Shot and Lighting Sequences – Narrative Script and a Split-Column Script

Your next assignment is to write 2 short scripts, one in each format, using camera angles and lighting to convey your message.

The split-column script must contain:

· One each of the following shot framings: XWS, WS, MWS, MCU, CU, XCU

· One each of the following camera angles: High Angle, Eye Level, Low Angle, Dutch Tilt, OTS, Birdseye

The narrative script must contain:

· One scene in which one of the following shot framings is implied through description: XWS, WS, MWS, MCU, CU, XCU

· Another scene in which a different shot framing is implied through description

· Another scene in which a change between 2 of the shot framings is implied through description

· A scene in which one of the following camera angles is implied through description: High Angle, Eye Level, Low Angle, Dutch Tilt, OTS, Birdseye

· Another scene in which a different camera angle is implied through description

· Another scene in which a change between 2 of the camera angles is implied through description

Keep in mind, as discussed in class, that the split column may state these EXPLICITLY, while the narrative must state them IMPLICITLY.

Each scene in both scripts must contain the following elements:

· The scene must begin with action, not dialogue

· The scene description must describe where the action is taking place, following the “Goldilocks rule” Not too much not too little it has to be just right.

· The scene description must describe the characters who appear for the first time in the scene, following the “Goldilocks rule”

· At least one character must perform one action in the scene description that reveals something about the character

· At least one character must speak at least one line of dialogue that reveals something about the character

· The scene must have a significant lighting change that conveys a message about the scene

Finally, your story within the script should be based on the following premise:

A product like the one pictured below…This product must be a part of the script

… is encountered by at least 2 of the following public domain characters, one from Column A and one from Column B.

Column A	Column B
King David	Prince Jonathan
Peter the Apostle	Paul the Apostle
Mary (sister of Lazarus)	Martha (sister of Lazarus)
Juliet	Romeo
Macbeth	Lady Macbeth
Maid Marian	Robin Hood
Dr. John H. Watson	Sherlock Holmes

You may “mix and match” characters: in other words, you need not pair a character from column A with her or his companion from the original texts. Also, you need not use the same characters in the narrative script and in the split-column script.

The only other restrictions on your scripts are:

· They must tell a story with clear beginning, middle, and end.

· They must be properly formatted.

· They must present the product in a positive light.

· Your target page count for this assignment is 2 pages per script (2 pages narrative, 2 pages split-column).
