#360 14 and 3

Design

The fonts for titles, the station logo, and the look of the set are all elements for the design of the show the director must decide on. The aspect ratio needs to be considered.  For standard television the ratio is 4x3 and 16x9 for high definition television. Color is important to how a show looks.  The three basic color attributes are hue, saturation and brightness.  Design has a three dimensional element when scenery is introduced and there are four types of scenery.  Standard set units, hanging units, platforms, wagons, pillars and screens make up the types of scenery.

The Script

The type of script is determined by the the style of show.  A television series script would be extremely detailed and a late night talk show would focus on main points the talent would speak on.  The single column drama script and the two column audio and video are more detailed then the news script or the rundown sheet. Theme, plot, characters and environment are the basic elements to a drama. Conflict is the gasoline that fuels the drama and the choices the characters make based off that conflict connects to the audiences imagination.
