Amber’s Technology in Education Adventure

For the next two weeks, I will be completing a script writing for my Instructional Video, as well as, recording and editing audio for my video.  I have research what scriptwriting is and how to write one. After much research, I have concluded that scriptwriting is a script or screenplay that is written by the screenwriter for things such as movies, TV shows, etc. In scriptwriting, a script contains actions, movements, emotions/expressions, and dialogue of characters. I viewed many websites that listed steps on the process of how to write a script. Most of the websites that I viewed listed the same steps, some broke down the steps more than others.
