Scriptwriting is the art of matching visual images with the evocative language of narration. Media Stream's expertise lies in the field of documentary and corporate video, where moving images, graphics, narration and interviews combine to convey descriptive information in the video stream.

A script in this context is usually compiled after the video and interviews have been shot according to pre-production planning and shot listing. However it is advantageous to involve the scriptwriter in the planning process so that appropriate images can be identified prior to the shoot taking place. This enables us to tell the story or convey the required message in a thorough and elegant manner that is appropriate to your needs.

Once the shoot is done, the process of scriptwriting takes place. Images are weighed for their information value and place within the narrative, and the scipt then details where images are to be placed, what audio accompanies them - i.e. music and narration - and what interview clips are to be inserted. This is a painstaking and time-consuming process, for each shot must be logged and every element timed precisely to fit within the allotted timeframe of the overall production.

Our scriptwriting experience encompasses television news, documentaries, actuality inserts, corporate information and training videos and event videography.
