SCRIPT

I recently learned that a music video script is not written in the traditional way like a short film or a feature film is written, which is in a screenplay format. A music video, on the other hand, is written using timestamps and lyrics of the song. The timestamps of a particular portion of a song are noted down, like “0:01-0:05” along with the lyric corresponding with that timestamp, and the scene is written according to that.

I have finally written the script. I have written it in a parallel-cutting style since I know at what timestamps I will be cutting, and there are mentions of the same scene multiple times throughout the video since i will be cutting and dividing them into portions for different parts of the song. The order of the shots might or might not change, that is something ill look into during editing. I used Microsoft excel to correspond the scene with the timestamps.
