Script Format - 17th September 2013

Script Format

In order to have a successful script, there is a number of things that you should include. All scripts should have the character's name in BOLD and the speech should be in the CENTRE. You should set the scene by either using INT. (For interior setting) or EXT. (For external setting). Once you have set the scene using INT. or EXT. you should then describe the area in slightly more detail. Another thing you must ensure you do is describe the characters in more detail after introducing them. You should also consider the weather.  You will need to put 'CUT TO:' on the right hand side of the page when you cut to a new scene or location. This should then be followed by INT. or EXT. The font you should use is 'courier' size 12. One last thing you should include in a script is the length of the shots and speech. In your script, you should not include camera direction or movement, this makes it easier to read since camera directions are usually hard to read easily.
