Вопросы и ответы

Breaking story basically means figuring out the screenplay’s blueprint — mapping out a story and coming up with a logically and dramatically consistant beginning, middle, and end, and the major checkpoints therein.

I broke story on that period family-horror-comedy idea I’ve been wrestling with today.

BRAD

Nice!

It’s cause for a small celebration.

Title pages include the title, writer’s name, and based on. | Screenwriting.io

Вопросы и ответы

All title pages should include the title, the writer’s name, and based on (if any). Most title pages will also include the date, and spec scripts’ title pages should include contact info for the writer or her representation. Title pages will often be done in standard Courier 12-point font, but not always.

Some writers who have registered their scripts with the WGA will include the registration number. This is not necessary, but is fine to include if you choose to.

TV title pages will usually use the show’s official artwork as the title, and in addition to the above will include the episode name and number, the director’s name, the draft, and sometimes the shoot date and air date.

Sample title pages can be found on the scripts in the johnaugust.com library.

What is standard screenplay format? | Screenwriting.io

While there can be slight variations for different types of scripts (ie multicam sitcom teleplays), screenplays follow strict formatting rules.

Fortunately, software like Final Draft, Movie Magic, Celtx, and others will do the heavy lifting for you.

Here are the basics:

12-point Courier font

1.5 inch left margin

1 inch right margin (between .5 inches and 1.25 inches), ragged

1 inch top and bottom margins

Approximately 55 lines per page, regardless of paper size (top and bottom margins adjusted accordingly). This does not include the page number, or spaces after it.

Dialogue speaker names (in all caps) 3.7 inches from left side of page (2.2 from margin)

Actor parentheticals (aka wrylies) 3.1 inches from left side of page (1.6 from margin)

Dialogue 2.5 inches from left side of page (1.5 from margin)

Pages should be numbered in the top right corner, flush to the right margin, a half-inch from the top of the page. Numbers should be followed by a period. The first page is not numbered. The title page is neither numbered nor does it count as page one, so the first page to have a number is the second page of the screenplay (third sheet of paper, including the title page), which is numbered 2.

Examples of properly formatted screenplays can be found in the johnaugust.com library.
