Writing for Video CHAPTER 5 reminder notes can be made in a wide left-hand margin. they include transi- tion symbols (for example, x cut; fU fade-up), indicate cues and camera instructions, and incorporate thumbnail sketches of shots or action. this type of script is widely used for narrative film-style production and sin- gle-camera video, where the director works alongside the camera operator. it is perhaps less useful in a multicamera setup, where the production team is more dispersed but everyone needs to know the director's production intentions. 81 Two-Column Format like the one-column format, there are many variations of the two-column for- mat (figure 5.4). this traditional television format is extremely flexible and informative. it gives all members of the production crew shot-by-shot details of what is going on. crew members can also add their own specific information (e.g., details of lighting changes) as needed. two versions of the script are sometimes prepared. in the first (rehearsal script) the right column only is printed. subsequently, after detailed planning and preproduction rehearsals, the production details are added to the left column
