cool little "title"
Actually Chris they are scripted. Usual 48-hour fests people have a team together including a screenwriter. Everything is prepped the night before. Filming starts in the middle of that night or beginning of next day depending if it's interior/exterior locations. From the 48-hour fests I've had others tell me about there is usually a "line" of text that an actor has to say within the short. This prevent any pre-written scripts from being thrown in mix.
