Shadow of the Vampire (2000);
The layout of the script is formatted in the a shooting script layout; (The term shooting script is the script with scenes arranged in order in which they will be filmed in movie's or TV programmes .This definition has been taken from dictionary.com) for Shadow of the Vampire seems to be very simple yet effective, but includes a lot of text which at times may confuse the person who is reading it. This is due to the different conventions that have been used.
The use of Scene Headings makes it easier for the actors and directors to know what part they are reading and it also helps organise the layout. These can be scene from the use of either Interior or Exterior, the time of day, and the setting. This is included as we can see that with a new scene, the producer has used "EXT. MEDIEVAL CITY-- DAY". This gives a quick image of what is about to happen and where.
Throughout this script, the use of Narrative has been very important as it shows how the character is supposed to be feeling or acting. Even though we cannot visually see what is written on the script in the movie or TV programme, the way it is acted out gives us the idea. "ALBIN GRAU, producer and art director, walks over: late thirties, something of an Aesthete." This is not scene unless the actors are seen acting out.
Dialogue is important written on the script and when it is being said whilst recording, as without this is the audience will have no idea what is going on. However in silent films, there would be no use of dialogue, however there scripts will be full of descriptive analysis. When the actors are speaking, the dialogue written is bought in to the middle of the page, in order to show that, that is what is being said. This makes it less confusing, as all of the bits that need to be acted out are written to the left.
