Write the action that is occurring in the scene, as seen from the point of view of the character. Include detailed information about the action that is unfolding in front of the character, such as "Tom sees a man slam into the fire hydrant as he steps away from his car." When shooting, the camera will focus on the character watching the scene.
Describe the emotions the character is displaying while watching the action. An example would be "Susan begins to look frantically around the room." The camera may either pan around the room quickly to imitate the character's anxiety or focus on the frantic character during the film shoot. Describing the character's emotions in the action allows the reader to understand the character's thought process.
Enter the dialogue below the action in the scene to include the character's point of view using their own words. Using the character's speaking style, write a concise dialogue that conveys the point of view, such as: "My life was moving too fast. So, I decided to slow down." The dialogue may be used as a voice-over (V.O.) as the character narrates his point of view in the story.
Include the character's observations toward opposite characters in the dialogue as well, when the character is speaking from his point of view. An example would be a critique about a supporting character by a main character, such as, "You act foolishly around my parents!" The critique may serve to heighten the action in the story and continue the character's view on the situation.
Note the order of each shot when completing the shooting script. Describe how the character's point of view will be displayed, such as instructing the camera to obtain a close-up of the character's face. Then pan right or left to look at the action that is occurring in front of the character to convey the character's viewpoint.
