Script
My music video has no talking so at first I struggled with the script at first but then I looked films with little to no dialogue for example All Is Lost. The film All Is Lost follows a sailor who after a collision with a shipping container becomes lost at sea, due to the lack of characters there is almost no dialogue, however the film still has a script. The script is used to describe the setting and the actions and facial expressions of the characters. I used how this script describes setting to help with my script as they describe how the character is feeling with the descriptions of the actions and not the dialogue.
