SCREENPLAY FORMAT GUIDE: DESCRIPTION It’s not necessary in the body of a scene to inform us as to the setting, the time of day, or whether it’s an interior or exterior, as this is already known from the scene heading.. If a legend, such as a locale or a date, is to be superimposed upon a scene, then standard format dictates it be placed within quotes and preceded by the word “SUPERIMPOSE:” (in ALL CAPS with a colon): SCREENPLAY FORMAT GUIDE: TRANSITIONS Whenever there is a jump in time and/or space, we may bridge the gap by means of a transitional instruction. The transitions used most often are “FADE IN:,” “ FADE OUT.” and “DISSOLVE TO:” A common way to lead into a dream sequence, for example, is with the transitional instruction “RIPPLE DISSOLVE TO:” Some other transitions include “WIPE TO:,” “IRIS IN:,” and “IRIS SCREENPLAY FORMAT GUIDE: CHARACTER CUES Don’t center the character cues. It may look cool, but it actually makes the script harder to read. Each character cue should begin at the same column on the page (4.2 inches from the left edge being standard).. Don’t place a colon after a character cue. SCREENPLAY FORMAT GUIDE: MONTAGES Standard screenplay format dictates that a montage or a series of shots begin with a slug line describing the content. It’s not sufficient just to describe what we see in a paragraph of action.. Each shot must be listed in alphabetical outline form, without a scene heading, starting with a capital letter “A” and a closed parenthesis, followed by two spaces: SCREENPLAY FORMAT GUIDE: SCENE HEADINGS A scene heading always consists of at least two elements: 1) an interior or exterior indicator, and 2) a location or setting. Unless the scene is part of a continuous sequence, the heading also includesa
SCREENPLAY FORMAT GUIDE: DIALOGUE Don’t center the dialogue. Each line should begin at the same column on the page (2.9 inches from the left edge being standard). Screenplays have their own unique rules for breaking a page, rules your average word-processing software doesn’t follow. SCREENPLAY FORMAT GUIDE: MARGIN SETTINGS All measurements are in inches, based on a page size of 8.5 inches by 11 inches (21.5 cm by 27.9 cm). To make formatting your script easier and more consistent, use dedicated screenwriting software, such as Final Draft® or Movie Magic® Screenwriter™.Surprisingly, the default margin settings in these programs deviate from Industrystandards.
SCREENPLAY FORMAT GUIDE: SLUG LINES This actually reads better than writing it as a camera direction, such as “ANGLE ON PARKER.” Each slug line is its own element.

To make formatting your script easier and more consistent, use dedicated screenwriting software, such as Final Draft® or Movie Magic® Screenwriter™.Surprisingly, the default margin settings in these programs deviate from Industrystandards.

And it’s ready to go out and rock the cinematic world. Or is it? Let’s look at the picture a month from now. Your script went out on a Friday to a dozen producers. You were certain that by Monday morning they would be fighting over it in a bidding war. But the phone didn’t ring. A few days later, some terse e-mail started trickling in. One of them mentioned “structural problems.” They liked your writing, but the screenplay was not for them. By now it seems painfully clear something in your script does not work. But what? If only you had shown it to a script analyst before you sent it out. If only you had rewritten it with the help of a professional, a veteran script doctor who has worked for the studios, and who knows what producers look for. Perhaps then you could have fixed your screenplay before you burned it through those producers. Well, now you have access to just such a script consultant with Story Sense. Creative Screenwriting magazine, in their comparative review of script analysts , rated Story Sense “Highly Recommended” and their “Best Buy.” The competition is fierce, and you may not get a second chance.
