2 Column Shooting Script A shooting script contains a very elaborate description of all shots, locations, character, action, sound and technical details of the film. Shooting script serves the following functions. The shooting script is a breakdown of all all camera placements and movements. All shots must have bolded shot descriptions:: ECU- extreme close up/ CU- close up / MCU- medium close up / LS- long shot or FS- full shot/ ELS- extreme long shot/ OTS- over the shoulder / XO- Cross-Shots-/ BEV- Bird’s Eye View/ 2S-FS - two shot full shot / WEV- Worms Eye View. Remember to include changes in camera angles and height in your descriptions as well. Every shot you chose should be motivated by the action and emotion in the script. Remember that your audience is looking for clues to understanding the details of your story. Remember WALLDO when visualizing your shots: (Wide, Angles, Linking shots, Low angles, Depth, Opposites) Any special effects or titles should also included in the shot descriptions. The shooting script also divides the film into separate locations. Therefore, all locations can be fixed and the possible shooting problems inherent in these locations can be foreseen. The script can be a guide in determining the exact length of the film by mentally timing out each shot. The script provides a break-down for the actors as to which shots and scenes they will be appearing in, when they will be needed during shooting. The shooting script includes the exact dialogue and sound you will hear at each precise moment of production. Sample Scene- In the drawing room of a house, a mother is pleading with the father.
