Screenplay format

Screenplay format

Scripts follow a strict format so readers can scan them. Scene headings set place and time (INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT). Action is present-tense description. Character names cue the dialogue centred beneath them.

Software or a template handles the spacing — learn the elements, not the margins.
