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 a variety of tips on the shooting content, and 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 Aauto faster, we generally don't need to use this scripting method.
02
Story board is suitable for short stories.
Story board transformed words into images that can be directly expressed by the camera. Generally, story board includes the picture content, scene, shooting skills, time, plane position, sound effects and so on.
Story board is already a "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 essential 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 very 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, it is only necessary to clarify the tasks that the characters need to do, 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, framing.
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 theme to reflect, and what form of content expression, whether it is food video, clothing or small plot.
3, character setting.
How many people do you need to set up for a short video? Are carrying the mission of analyzing which part of the theme?
4. Scene setting.
The shooting location is very important, is it indoor or outdoor, shed shooting or green screen keying? This needs to be determined in advance.
5. Story clues.
How does the plot develop, from the childhood of the characters, or by flashback, to mobilize the audience's emotions with a bad result, and then to 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, with the right atmosphere.
