HOW TO WRITE A SCRIPT EVENTDIRECTOR CAN USE
===========================================

The more of these your script spells out, the more complete your imported run of show.
Build them in at the script stage — for EACH moment of the show, include:

  1. SECTION      — group the show into blocks, each with a target clock time and rough length
                    (PRE-SHOW, WELCOME, KEYNOTE, AWARDS, CLOSE...)
  2. TITLE        — a short name for the moment ("Opening VT", "Host Walk-On", "Award 1")
  3. TEAM / TYPE  — who runs it: Video / Lights (LX) / Sound / Stage — or the kind: VT, VO, mic, look
                    List several ("Host + Sound + Lights") for a grouped call — all get one standby,
                    all fire on one GO.
  4. DURATION     — how long it runs (m:ss); write "open" for a keynote or Q&A that runs to schedule
  5. THE WORDS    — if someone speaks, write the actual lines: the VO copy, the host spiel,
                    the announcement, the award citation. Write them out — don't just say "host talks".
  6. MUSIC        — name the track or style when there is one ("house music", "award sting", "walk-on")
  7. TRIGGER      — what cues it: "on applause", "after VT", "host reaches lectern", "on final bow"

STANDBY / GO calls — two ways, mix them freely:
  - Leave them out and EventDirector builds them from the Team (Team: Sound -> "Standby Sound / Sound, GO").
  - OR write them in with "Standby:" and "GO:" lines and your exact wording is used verbatim. Handy
    when the writer is also the director — the calls you want are baked into the script.
You can do this per cue: spell out the ones that matter, let the routine ones fill themselves.

TIP — make the directions stand out: wrap a label so it's easy to spot among the spoken lines.
  *Music:* upbeat track     **GO:** Video 3, GO     _Team_: Sound
These read exactly the same as Music: / GO: / Team: — the asterisks/underscores are just for the eye.

Two ways to use it:
  A) Paste this labelled script straight into Script Import and press Parse — it imports directly.
  B) For a richer pass, copy the EventDirector prompt, run it through ChatGPT, paste the result back.
