For those on the list who haven't had much experience writing screenplays or mini scripts, remember the Golden Rule...You speak and write two very different forms of English.
 
For example, when writing, you are more apt to use [what some refer to as] more sophisticated forms of English: you will use more passive tenses, fewer action verbs and have sentences that are as long as a paragraph.
 
I recommend that if, in your video, you are describing an action, say it aloud first. You will find yourself using your hands to supplement, your face, your inflection, your pauses and breaks in the meter... you may even want to consult with an undergrad lit or fine arts student who may be able to point you in the right direction and give you access to some awesome resources. Just a thought.

Thanks, Lisa.  I had hoped since it was going to be a DVD it would video.  That's a good addition to patients' health education.  DVD equipment is more accessible now than it used to be for those on a fixed income.  Nancy

It won't be written word, rather a video .  And of course the script will be written using plain language
