a script is the entire entire entire movie on paper, absolutely everything is included.
a transcript is merely what the actors say and when.

TRANSCRIPT
NARRATOR
Twice married, twice divorced. First to a President's niece,
Emily Norton, who left him in nineteen sixteen, died nineteen
eighteen in a motor accident with their son. Sixteen years after
his first marriage, two weeks after his first divorce, Kane
married Susan Alexander, singer, at the Town Hall in Trenton, New
Jersey.
POSTER READS
Chicago Municipal Opera House Presents Susan Alexander.
NARRATOR
For wife two, one-time opera singing Susan Alexander, Kane built
Chicago's Municipal Opera House. Cost -- Three million dollars.
Conceived for Susan Alexander Kane, half-finished before she
divorced him, the still unfinished Xanadu. Cost -- No man can
say.
CAPTION READS
In politics - always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
NARRATOR
Kane, molder of mass opinion though he was, in all his life was
never granted elective office by the voters of his country. But
Kane papers were once strong indeed, and once the prize seemed
almost his. In nineteen sixteen, as Independent Candidate for
Governor, the best elements of the State behind him, the White
House seemingly the next easy step in a lightning political
career. Then, suddenly, less than one week before election -
defeat!
CHRONICLE HEADLINE READS
Candidate Kane caught in Love Nest with "Singer"
NARRATOR
Shameful, ignominious, defeat that set back for twenty years the
cause of Reform in the U.S., forever cancelled political chances
for Charles Foster Kane.
CAPTION READS
1929
NARRATOR
Then, in the first year of the great depression, a Kane paper
closes! For Kane, in four short years: collapse! Eleven Kane
papers merged, more sold, scrapped.
CAPTION READS
But America still reads Kane newspapers and Kane himself was
always news. 1935.

Is that correct?

Inquirer.

PROLOGUE
FADE IN:
EXT. XANADU - FAINT DAWN - 1940 (MINIATURE)
Window, very small in the distance, illuminated.
All around this is an almost totally black screen. Now, as the camera moves slowly towards the window which is almost a postage stamp in the frame, other forms appear; barbed wire, cyclone fencing, and now, looming up against an early morning sky, enormous iron grille work. Camera travels up what is now shown to be a gateway of
gigantic proportions and holds on the top of it - a huge initial "K" showing darker and darker against the dawn sky. Through this and beyond we see the fairy-tale mountaintop of Xanadu, the great castle a sillhouette as its summit, the littlewindow a distant accent in the darkness.
DISSOLVE:
(A SERIES OF SET-UPS, EACH CLOSER TO THE GREAT WINDOW, ALL TELLING SOMETHING OF
The literally incredible domain of CHARLES FOSTER KANE.
Its right flank resting for nearly forty miles on the Gulf Coast, it truly extends
in all directions farther than the eye can see. Designed by nature to be almost
completely bare and flat - it was, as will develop, practically all marshland when
Kane acquired and changed its face - it is now pleasantly uneven, with its fair
share of rolling hills and one very good-sized mountain, all man-made. Almost all
the land is improved, either through cultivation for farming purposes of through
careful landscaping, in the shape of parks and lakes. The castle dominates itself,
an enormous pile, compounded of several genuine castles, of European origin, of
varying architecture - dominates the scene, from the very peak of the mountain.
DISSOLVE:
GOLF LINKS (MINIATURE)
Past which we move. The greens are straggly and overgrown, the fairways wild with
tropical weeds, the links unused and not seriously tended for a long time.
DISSOLVE OUT:
DISSOLVE IN:
WHAT WAS ONCE A GOOD-SIZED ZOO (MINIATURE)
Of the Hagenbeck type. All that now remains, with one exception, are the individual plots, surrounded by moats, on which the animals are kept, free and yet safe from each other and the landscape at large. (Signs on several of the plots indicate that here there were once tigers, lions, girrafes.)
DISSOLVE:
THE MONKEY TERRACE (MINIATURE)
In the foreground, a great obscene ape is outlined against the dawn murk. He is scratching himself slowly, thoughtfully, looking out across the estates of Charles Foster Kane, to the distant light glowing in the castle on the hill.

So is transcript a dialogue between two people??
and a script is like describing all the surroundings and includes all the dialogue as well??
Do you do English Standard or Advanced? In the Catholic Trails, should the transcript in Paper I be a dialogue between the interviewer and the interviewee?
I thought a transcript was like "she said this this and this, and thought this this and this".
Thank you very very very much for your help!

interesting point of view though. my teacher says a transcript is something u write after an event so its like in the past tense. While another english teacher (the advanced english teacher) thought it should be an interview. so i did both in the catholic trials and didn't get penalised by 2 different markers!
