Scripts and calls

Scripts are word processed pieces of paper, which describes the dialogue or actions being taking place at a specific time in a production. There are 3 different types of scripts for the TV Show. A script on the back of the cue cards, including the Host's dialogue, also guiding when the VT inserts are played. The main script, is a few pages long word processed script, which indicates all of the dialogue the Host has to say, also including stage directions of when VT Inserts are to be played, and also when any of the Contestants talk. Another is called a Multi-Cam script, which includes technical information for the crew. The Multi-Cam script can also be used for the Director to make notes on, if some things need changing, after doing a few practice runs. The Director also decides where camera shots go on the script.

When producing a Multi-Cam script, the script requires 2 columns. The first column for 'Vision' and the second for 'Audio'. In both columns, it will describe what will be needed to be heard or seen at that particular point in the production. The script describes the duration and track number of any VT inserts needed, the Host's First Words (F.W) and Last Words (L.W), what camera will need to be online, the shot size, and who is being filmed.
