Hi folks. Any mockumentary writers out there?
I've been straining away writing one for about a year, and have got most of the content together, but I just need to get the formatting right. I've been looking on the net for example scripts, but most of the usual suspects (e.g. Spinal Tap, Best in Show) seem to have been semi-improvised, and all you can find are transcripts.
Something like The Office has basically a standard comedy/drama script, but with pauses after people speak and the odd Brent-talks-to-camera stuff. My script has the narrator wandering about chatting to camera, interspersed with photos and the odd bit of footage, plus captions etc.
Should I stick with the standard format, or is there a precedent for going with a two-column format as they do with documentaries (i.e. video in one column and audio in the other)?
