A script is a document that outlines every aural, visual, behavioral, and lingual element required to tell a story. Why "outlines"? Because film is a highly collaborative medium and the director, cast, editor, and production crew will, based on your "outline", interpret your story their way when it is filmed. They may consult you, or they may not. Other writers may be brought in or you may be asked to re-write the entire thing. That's life, in the world of screenwriting. But because so many people are involved in the making of a film, a script must conform to standards that all involved parties understand and thus has a specific format or layout, margins, notation, and other conventions.

A shotlist is simply all list of the shots you need to shoot to create your video. It lets you think of the full process, all the video footage you need to capture to make your finished video.The shotlist also helps you consider shooting raw footage in a way that makes sense. Not necessarily in the order of the story.For example: if your video starts at the beach, moves to a restaurant, and ends in a school. Shoot all the beach scenes scenes one day, and the restaurant and school scenes on other days.

A screenplay is writing intended to be turned into film. If a movie were a building, a screenplay would be the blueprint.
