DOCUMENTARY SCRIPT TEMPLATES

are useful when planning everything from pre-production to the editing of documentary films. I wrote these templates to make my life easier. Feel free to give them to other filmmakers. The title of each template describes its use. Click on each of the following links to arrive at the "homepage" of that link; from there you may download each template. There is a template for 2-column documentary scripts, a template for the shot analysis of a documentary film, a template for making a documentary paper edit, a template for making a documentary paper edit using Microsoft Word's "outline" function, and a template for documentary scene analysis. Each contains a complete set of preliminary instructions plus one or more script samples to practice on. All are downloadable as Word files in 12 point Courier to preserve their formatting.
