Screenplay

Screenplay

Screenplay includes dialogue an pictures and it is normally the early stages of what you want the play to look like, It is the script of the film/play including screen directions and instructions.
The screenplay comes first before the storyboard as the script then therefore helps create the storyboard an follow it in a simpler way.

Writing a screenplay/script

-include location, setting and time of time.
-introduce key characters and include a short description of who/what they look like.
-Include key dialogue between characters and details of their actions and expressions.
-Include details of where the camera is in each scene.

Jaws screenplay

In the opening scene of Jaws the screenplay is a little bit different to the scene itself as in the scene it is a lot more detailed but as you are reading the script it misses certain tings and shots out, this is done because as it is being filmed the producers decide that it either doesn't look right or they pace int he scene is too fast for it and they cant fit it in. Below i have annotated and labelled the screenplay/script of the opening screen to jaws and I have annotated notes and details on it and also annotated what changed from the script and to the filming itself,

I have also added a link to the video of the opening scene to follow with my notes.
