A script is a document that has all the aspects of the short film in; camera angles, sound, some lighting, and editing. I have done a script as it allows me to see what is happening as well as what I have to do in the short film.

Below I have done differnet versions of a script, this is because it allows me to change my ideas as the planning and production goes along.
