A television script is a text, in which some necessary details are exposed to “guide” in the realization of a television program, indicating dialogues, times, and texts of the actors, conductors, presenters and commentators, as well as indicating the times of the cuts for the introduction of advertisements; the positions and angles that the cameras should take to focus on the plane that best suits the protagonists of the broadcast, whether these actors of a program, commentators, presenters etc.

A television script is done in a descriptive way including the setting, the action, and the dialogues. As well as giving indications of when to make camera changes, zooms, changes of plane, background music, announcement entry, lights, introduction of recorded videos, (in the case of newscasts by example).
