SCRIPT
WRITING TECHNIQUE
As
already explained to you, preparing any script requires a story and story is an
outcome of some idea. Ideas are generated on facts collected by you or come to
you out of mere fantasy and imagination. When your idea is based on real and
factual happenings it tends to be a non-fiction script based on facts of life,
and when a story is shaped on your imagination and fantasy it is called
fiction. In certain cases when you turn facts into your own imaginary format it
again becomes fiction. There can be a part of factual situations present in
your script but now that you have added your own imagination to it, it becomes
a piece of fiction. And there is certainly going to be a difference in
presenting facts and fiction in film script format.
We
will here know how we can write a 12 minute script for target audience for
promoting literacy in them.
This
story can be a fact, because most of the women and men in our villages have not
still been able to achieve basic elementary education. But the characters and
the entire weaving of the story is based on imaginary idea.
Idea:
illiteracy amongst common masses in the village is going against their own
interest. Because they cannot read and write, they are still being exploited.
Synopsis:
In a village we show a Girl pulling water from a well and taking that to her
home. Her in-laws are sitting inside. A postman comes to deliver a money order
sent by the husband of the girl. The postman hands over half the amount of the
money order and takes a receipt of the full. The girl can’t read the amount.
She puts her thumb impression on the receipt. The postman leaves. When
questioned by her father in-law, the girl replies that the post man had
delivered a money order. She shows the money order receipt and the money to her
father in-law. Then her father in-law curses her for not having informed him,
he tells her that her husband had sent 6000 rupees and she has received only
3000/ the postman had cheated her. The mother in-law of the girl says that the
fault was their own they should have allowed their daughter in-law to learn at
least basic education.
Let us break this story into sequences:
1.
First Sequence: Exterior Pan Shot- A typical Indian village is shown
where a young woman is drawing water from the well within the courtyard of her
home. (Dissolve at MCU of the woman)
2.
Second Sequence: We show a postman coming on his cycle with a bunch of
letters he approaches the door and knocks it; the same woman appears from the
inner side of the door, opening the door she gets happy seeing the postman.
3.
Third Sequence: She asks the postman to wait awhile goes inside and fetches
water and sweets for him, asks him to come inside offers him a seat.
From
one inter-cut we show the In-laws laying inside (interior shot) the other room
and enquiring who it was. We cut back to the woman replying this is postman.
The post man draws money from the bag. We zoom in at the M O and the face of
the postman depicting mischief on his face. We cut to girl, she is not happy to
get only 3000/ rupees.
4.
Fourth Sequence: The Woman goes inside her home, the postman leaves. The
woman shows the money to her mother in-law, who also expresses disappointment.
She wakes up the father-in-law.
5.
Fifth sequence: (Interior) Inside the house father-in-law asks the daughter-in-law
to bring his pair of spectacles. He wears his glasses and reads the letter
accompanying the money order in which his son has stated that he is sending a
money order of 6000/ rupees. The father –in-law gets angry with the woman for
not informing him when the postman had come, but how could she do that when you
were sleeping at the moment, and then how could she think that the postman will
cheat her. The father in-law- is totally outraged at this.
6.
Sixth Sequence: Mother In-law tells her husband “why don’t you teach her
alphabets?”
(Dissolve)
Narration:
Message Start learning from today.
Now
Let us prepare its Tentative Screenplay/Shooting Script) (Brief version for
your learning only, you can make it a full length script of all the 6 sequences
as stated above.

Digital technology media transformation
Digital technology media
transformation has taken altogether a new leap from what we knew it few years
ago. The media room is being replaced by a news curator’s room. The news
assimilation and dissemination methodology applied by the news source and the receiver
has completely kept changing. The news is now surfed from the social site
uploads by the news curator and distributed to a worldwide news network online.
Inside, Netflix, Storyful are some of the examples. Looking at this development
the journalism course designer at university level should revamp and redesign
the present journalism courses at graduate and post graduate level. The nuances
of story verification and methods of content creation and presentation have
altogether changed keeping in view the need of the hour. The delivery and
receiving ends are also now very different. A smart phone and tablet is a new
newsgathering, assembling, packaging, distributing and receiving medium.
The mismatch of our course at the
college level is causing frustration in the mind of the young learners of
journalism. They are savvy with the latest technology and use it as game and
fun but we are lagging behind when we apply obsolete methods and old generation
technology to impart education. The freedom is missing at the campus. The class
room teaching is a big flawed way of teaching journalism. While academic
discipline cannot be and should not be compromised, a lot remains to be done
for devising a better methodology of teaching journalism at college level.

The
Directorate of Field Publicity is one of the Media Units of the Ministry of
Information and Broadcasting. It is engaged in the task of publicizing various
programmes and policies of the Government through its network of 207 Field
Publicity Units under the control and supervision of 22 Regional Offices.
·
Field Publicity came into existence in 1953 with 32 Field
Publicity Units under the control of four Regional Offices. The set-up was
created under the integrated publicity programme named "Five Year Plan
Publicity Organization". The Ministry directly exercised administrative
control over the Units and Regional Offices. Later a full-fledged Directorate
was constituted in 1959 to supervise and control the activities of the Regional
Offices and the Field Publicity Units and it came to be called
"Directorate of Field Publicity".
After the
Sino-India war in 1962 and the Indo-Pak War in 1965, some radical changes in
the approach and working of DFP became necessary in view of the urgent need
for boosting the nation’s morale and for mentally preparing the people to
meet any external threat. Accordingly, 34 more new units were created in 1963
and another 33 in 1965 for publicity exclusively in the border areas.
Presently, out of the present strength of 207 Field Units, 61 are Border
Units

The same applies to film show programmes that are organised in closed halls during daytime in schools, colleges and other institutions.

Exhibition
All the Field Publicity units are equipped with portable exhibition kits. Apart from the exhibition sets supplied by DVAP, DFP has also produced three 16-panel exhibition sets on AIDS Awareness, Pulse Polio Immunisation and Child Labour. When a Field unit reaches the programme site, which may be a village or a slum in the urban area, the Field Publicity Officer contacts the opinion leaders including the Pradhan and Sarpanch with a view to involve them with the programme. During the day the exhibition is displayed at an appropriate place like a classroom, a verandah of a school or a Panchayat Hall, to which people from nearby places are invited. The exhibits are explained to the visitors with the maximum possible information. Effort is also made by the Field Officers to provoke questions from the audience on various issues and answer these in order to remove any doubts from the minds.

ABOUT US
History:-
The
Publications Division of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has
played a pioneering role in the growth and development of book industry in
post-Independence India. The Division, which has
descended in some ways from the
department set up by the British Government to conduct propaganda against the
Axis Powers during World War-II, brought out periodicals in not only English,
Hindi and Urdu, but also in some foreign languages, e.g. Persian, Arabic and
Russian. Its publications included the Arabic version (abridged) of David
Copperfieldand the Ramayana in a Russian fortnightly. It
had its own printing press. While many other departments engaged in
counter-propaganda, e.g., films and entertainment, exhibition etc. were wound
up, the government, recognizing that providing information was the key to
progress, retained this department.
It was the Publications Division that carried the message of the Five Year
Plans to the people and produced books of general interest and magazines
largely for informing or motivating the people.
Publications
Division (PD) is one of the leading publishing houses of the country and
the largest in public sector. It is a repository of books and
journals for highlighting matters of national importance and India’s rich and
diverse cultural heritage. It holds the exclusive mandate for
preserving national heritage and disseminating information through the
production and sale of low priced, quality reading material on subjects of
national importance. The subjects range from art, history, culture, biographies
of eminent persons, land and people, flora and fauna, children’s literature,
science and technology and Gandhian Literature to work of reference
like India – A Reference Annual. The Division also
brings out selected speeches of the Presidents and Prime Ministers of
India. With headquarters at Delhi, the Division functions through
its various field units – Sales Emporia at New Delhi, Mumbai,
Chennai, Kolkata, Patna, Lucknow,
