Scripts are generally divided into shooting outlines, shooting scripts and literary scripts. They are suitable for different types of short videos.
0 1
Let's talk about the shooting outline first. The shooting outline is the main point of shooting a movie or some scenes. It only plays all kinds of tips on the shooting content, which is suitable for some content that is difficult to master and predict.
It should be noted that the script outline is generally unrestricted, and the photographer can play a larger space, but it has less guiding effect on the later video.
Therefore, when we make short videos like Tik Tok and autopilot faster, we usually don't need to use this scripting method.

Story board is suitable for short stories.
Shot-splitting script converts text into pictures that can be expressed directly through the lens. Usually, the shot-splitting script includes picture content, scene, shooting skills, time, plane position, sound effect and so on.
Shot-splitting script is already a kind of "visual" image to a certain extent, which can help the team retain the original intention of the creator to the greatest extent, so it is indispensable for short video creators who want to express a story.
Story board is very demanding of pictures, because we have to show a strong plot in a short time, so it is time-consuming and laborious to create.
03
Literary scripts don't need to be as detailed as story board's, and they are suitable for short video creation without plot. Such as teaching videos, assessment videos, etc.
In a literary script, you only need to specify the tasks that the characters need to complete, the lines they say, the shots they choose and the length of the whole program.
So, how to write short video scripts to generate creativity? What are the main points of short video script creativity?
Before writing your short video shooting script, you need to determine the overall content, ideas and processes. That is, preliminary preparation.
1, view.
What aspects should a script consider in advance, such as shooting theme, story clues, relationship between characters, where to shoot the scene, etc.
2. Theme positioning.
What is the deep meaning behind the story to be expressed, what kind of theme to be embodied, and what kind of content expression form to be adopted, whether it is food video, clothing or plot.
3. Character setting.
How many people do you need to set up for a short video? What part of the theme do they all have to analyze?
4. Scene setting.
The shooting location is very important, is it indoor or outdoor, shooting in the shed or green screen? This needs to be determined in advance.
5. Story clues.
How does the plot develop, from the childhood of the characters, or through flashback, to mobilize the audience's emotions with a bad result, and then explore the plot of the whole story?
6, the use of tone.
What kind of emotional theme matches what kind of emotional tone. Tragedy? Comedy? Miss? Funny? Technology? Cold tone, warm tone, light and shadow
7. Background music.
In a movie, it fits the right atmosphere.
