shooting script research

after i have read the THE SARAH JANE ADVENTURES part 1 the vault this will help us when we are doing our script because there are shots like the FX shot these are good for action scene. I also know how to layout my own script when i write it down and how to start it off using EXT or INT.

When i was reading this script it was and clear to understand i will use the simple and basic language when making my own scrip. I will use more detail when making my script and better camera shots.

How does the script and the drama compare

In Merlin the script writer made it simple and easy to understand even through it seems to be complex as they are acting. The script details the actions and what the actor has to say and when. Its simple and easy to follow even if you don't act. I have learn't what the difference is between ext and int (outside or inside). This will help me write my own script more accurate and better.
