An Introduction to Script Writing

The following image is the notes I have taken in order to gain further understanding towards the format of a script. 


I also found out about the strict margin rules for 

Headings and Description - 1.5" left, 1" right.  Headings and descriptions should be approximately 6" in width.
Dialogue - 3" left, 2" right.  Dialogue should stay around 3.5" wide
Character Names - 4" from left (up to 4.25" is acceptable)
Wrylies - 3.5" from left (up to 3.75" is acceptable)
Top/Bottom Margins - 1" top, 1" bottom
Page Numbers - upper right, usually .25"-.5" from top and 1"-1.25" from left

The screenplay and title page must be printed in 12 point courier typeface.
Description and dialogue blocks are printed using single line spacing.  Scene headings, description, and dialogue blocks are separated using double line spacing.
