Scripting

The script is most important thing for a quiz show to be succesful as it contains all the technical information that the director and DVD operators need to follow, as well as the dialogue of the host, the audio insert lengths for the Sound, DVD operators and for the assistant director to keep track off on behalf of the director. The script also mentions and gives advice on which camera shots should be used for opening of the show, as well as listing all the AD LIB shots the director is looking for in the rest of the show. the layout of a TV script is so that all sound used regardless of if its coming from the host, theguests or from VT inserts always goes on the right hand side of the script. And all vision information goes on the left side of the script. this is done becuase it makes the script much easier to follow for director, assistant director, floor manager and DVD operator. Whenever the director calls the number of the camera he wishes to cut to it means that the vision mixer should cut to that camera as listed in the script. If its a VT insert then the director calls to roll VT insert when it should be called, and where it is writen in the script.
