What is a rundown and how does it differ from a script?

A rundown is the program's sequence and timing; a script contains the exact spoken lines.

Rundown refers to the program’s sequence and timing. It’s the production plan that lines up each segment in order, with rough durations and cues for transitions, graphics, music, and who speaks when. It’s like a roadmap that helps the crew keep the show on track.

A script, by contrast, contains the exact spoken lines that talent and voiceover will deliver. It’s the precise wording, including how lines should sound and where pauses or emphasis go, and it may include delivery notes.

So, the rundown guides the flow and timing of the show, while the script provides the actual words to be spoken. The other options mix elements that aren’t the primary purpose of either document.

A script is the sequence; a rundown contains exact lines.

A rundown is the weather forecast; a script is the credits.

A rundown is the camera positions; a script is the color grading notes.
