ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a brief overview of the scriptwriting process in order to give producer an understanding of the various types of scripts and how they come together. When segments have been recorded to be inserted into the program, the script may show the opening and closing words of each segment and the package's duration, which enables accurate cueing. There are many different script formats. However, basically, scripts are laid out in a single-column or a two-column format. The single-column script is widely used for film-style productions where the director works next to the camera operator. For a dramatic production, the script generally begins the production process. Audio and video images are both important in a production, viewers perceive video as primarily a visual medium. There are variations of the single-column format all video and audio information is usually contained in a single main column.
