scripts media n. the written version, prepared in advance, of an announcement, dialogue, speech, programme or other form of public performance. Usually specifies the words that will be delivered but may also encompass a range of non-verbal and visual information including pace, rhythm, graphics, and scenery. In film and media production a shooting script will also include information about lighting, camera angle, shot sequence, etc. While much mass communication is scripted in advance, a great deal of effort is made to avoid the presence of a script being too obvious. mmo
