I am +1 on the script lining.
I would, however prefer something like
[[SHOT "Scene 3 shot 3"]]
Tom shot himself in the head and
[[/SHOT]]
[[SHOT "Scene 3 shot 4"]]
The gun fell to the floor.
[[/SHOT]]
Then you could run a production report and get a shot list.
Would you say, that a line and a shot are entirely identical?
Would you say, that a line and a shot are entirely identical?
yes. My bad. Line is the visual implementation of a shot item. Either work, IMHO
[[LINE <label>]]
Tom shot himself in the head and
[[LINE <label2>]]
The gun fell to the floor.
[[/LINE]] [[/LINE]]
or you could do them like HTML tags... <line label="blah"></line>
If you implemented them as "html-style" tags, you could have a writing view that ignores production tags, and a production view that you can match up to storyboards.
<line label="blah" storyboard="storyboard.svg">
Tom shot himself in the head and
<line label="blah2" storyboard="storyboard2.svg">
The gun fell to the floor.
</line>
</line>

@stovak Thank you for your suggestions, much appreciated 👍🏻 Sorry for my late reply. I needed to settle on how to put my understanding into words 😅
My understanding was, that they are similar, yet not entirely identical, however, they could happen to point to the same thing, just not in general. What I mean, is that in my head (correct me if I'm wrong), a line is more synonymous with a camera setup than a shot since a camera setup can consist of one shot only but can also consist of multiple. But I'm not an expert, so I might be mistaken. Also, while line is a pre-production term, shot is a principal photography term and that might feel like mixing two very different workflows of two very different crew members.
What I like about your XML/HTML style tags is the ability to add additional attributes like the storyboards 👍🏻
