P3 Planning a Script

My series is a crime drama called Inside, the extract I will create a script for is from episode 3. It is aimed at 16-18 year olds, primarily based in the UK due to being on BBC3. I intend to write a shooting script which would be used by the production team during filming. The extract will be used as a promotional video for the series so it will be exciting and gripping in order to make the audience want to find out more. The script will be written from the protagonist's point of view with the use of voiceovers by him to subtly explain details of what's on screen. For this script, I have chosen to use an extract from the third episode of the series where the protagonist (Seth) stays up all night planning something, which the audience is unaware of, he then goes to school having not slept and is teased by his classmates which then leads onto him having a panic attack. In the extract we meet the protagonist and learn some information through his voiceovers and actions. We also meet some people from his school and we learn that he is quite isolated from everyone else. I will use present tense within the action blocks and the dialogue will be written exactly how the character will say it so that during filming the actors can do and say exactly as it appears in the script. This will include any informal/colloquial language which the characters would use. I will use the industry standard format and conventional layout of screenplays, including the typical 12pt courier font. This will mean that roughly one page will equate to one minute of screen time.
