Lesson 13 : TV Programmes and Script Writing

TV Script

Scripting is very important task in television. For every programme, scripting is inevitable in one form or other.In television there are some fully scripted programmes, some semi-scripted programmes and some programmes for which a run-down sheet is enough. Generally, routine formats such as news and some interview shows require little scripting. Features, documentaries and dramas require careful scripting and planning. For the programmes that require scripting the script evolves over several stages of work and does not take its complete form on the first draft.
