Film and television In film and television , a script breakdown is a an analysis of a screenplay in which all of the production elements are reduced to lists in order to schedule and budget the production b a director s creative analysis of the dramatic action, reciprocal struggle, theme, and design elements of a screenplay. Comics In comic book s, it is the process of determining how each action, character, and piece of dialogue described in the Script comics script will be placed visually on a page. In the studio system that dominated mass market comic book production from the 1940s through the 1970s, breakdowns were done by the penciller or by a separate breakdown artist, rarely by the scriptwriter in some cases, breakdowns were done from a rough story outline before the dialogue was written the Marvel method . Later comics writers such as Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman , influenced by cinematic technique, began to include more layout details within their scripts. Cartoonists who both write and draw their own work sometimes begin with a script and do their own breakdowns, and sometimes work through drawings without a separate script.

It was invented by King Pufong of the Bagam people Bagam Eghap people, ca. 1900, and used for letters and records, though it was never in wide use. It is reputedly based on the Bamum script, though the numerals show more resemblance to Bamum than the syllabograms do, and it does not appear to be a direct descendent. The only attested example is a paper by Louis Malcolm, a British officer who served in Cameroon in World War I. This was published without the characters in 1921, and the manuscript with characters was deposited in the library of Cambridge University. This was published in full in Tuchsherer 1999 . A hundred characters are recorded, though it is thought the script had several hundred more.

They are organized into highly regular formal types similar to cursive writing and looser, more casual scripts. Formal scripts A majority of formal scripts are based upon the letterforms of seventeenth and eighteenth century writing masters like George Bickham the Elder George Bickham , George Shelley and George Snell. The letters in their original form are generated by a quill or metal nib of a pen. Both are able to create fine and thick strokes. Typefaces based upon their style of writing appear late in the eighteenth century and early nineteenth century. Contemporary revivals of formal script faces can be seen in Kuenstler Script and Matthew Carter s typeface Snell Roundhand. These typefaces are frequently used for invitations and diplomas to effect an elevated and elegant feeling. Casual scripts Casual scripts show a less formal, more active hand. The strokes may vary in width but often appear to have been created by wet brush rather than a pen nib. They appear in the early twentieth century and with the advent of photocomposition in the early 1950s their number rapidly increased. They were popularly used in advertising in Europe and North America into the 1970s. Examples of casual script types include Brush Script , Kaufmann script Kaufmann and Mistral typeface Mistral .

Wikify date April 2012 Orphan date February 2009 Medi Script was North America s first instant credit system. Developed in 1965 67 by the West brothers in Vancouver , B.C., Canada, the system was designed to provide consumer credit at the retail store level, something that did not exist at that point in history. Citation needed date August 2007 At that time the Canadian chartered banks controlled all the legal credit granting ability with the exception of vehicle fuel companies like the Esso credit card which was not available to general merchants and shop keepers. The West brothers hoped to change this. Medi Script was designed to allow individual storeowners and merchants the ability to grant controlled, third party credit to their customers by subscribing for a fee to the Medi Script company who would then in turn provide the active credit for the customers in question. The name Medi Script was used because of an obscure law at the time that allowed the medical establishment to grant credit. While salespeople were actively marketing this new idea the Royal Bank of Canada was looking at the Medi Script company with the stated intent of purchasing the company and the rights to the Medi Script concept. During the negotiation process in 1968 the Royal Bank launched their own version dubbed the Chargex Credit card. Subsequently, the deal with the West brothers collapsed and their business collapsed as their idea took on a new life without them.
