<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Why does my screenplay have to be formatted?</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">So it’s easy to read. It may be OK to have a scruffy
looking script if you are the only one who will use it, but to allow your cast
and crew to make sense of it applying a few rules of formatting makes it easier
to read.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There are two main types of fictional screenplay –
the spec script and the shooting script. The spec script is what gets sent out
to producers and actors, but we can probably forget about that as we are going
to pick up a camera ourselves, so we can write a shooting script.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Layout<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Scripts are best typed on only one side of the paper
in 12 point courier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Double spacing between lines allows you to read the
script easier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Leave good borders around the script.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Keep to the above tips and you will have a well laid
out script. This can help you time your script as now one page of screenplay
will equal one minute of screen time.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">A film or television script is a written document
that details exactly how the story unfolds scene-by-scene, shot by shot. It is
a detailed expansion of the treatment. Did you hear the word “details”? The
more details there are, the better the script will be able to guide production.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">With a clear, accurate script that reflects the filmmakers’
detailed intentions, camera operators will record exactly what is needed and
editors will have well-organized materials from which to choose as they put the
movie together. A script, then, is vital for helping all the people involved in
the creation of a film work together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Even television news journalists use a script, even
when they are “live”. It may only be a notion in the reporter’s head or a few
notes scribbled down, but the reporter and crew know give report a structure:
beginning, middle, and end.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A filmmaker should be able to read his or her script
at a leisurely pace and get a good idea how many minutes and seconds the film
will be in length.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Usually scripts go through many revisions. The
revisions come as people who have different production responsibilities (sound,
or camera, or editing) add their own details. Also, as the “Production Phase”
begins, even the best ideas meet reality and the film will have to change
accordingly. Print and share as many scripts within the production team making
sure to put a date on each version so everyone is working with the latest and
greatest version.</span></div>
