SCRIPTWRITING IN THE CLASSROOM

©2006  Frank Baker, Media Educator

Teaching Strategy:
To best understand these TV commercials, students should become familiar with the “languages of television.”

The languages include elements like:

  • camera work ( i.e. position of the camera; camera lens used; camera movement)
  • lighting
  • sound, including music and sound effects
  • editing (and other post production, like special effects)
