How to Format a Screenplay: Screenplay Formatting 101

This was good! 🤗

This was fantastic. Thank you. I’m reading the Terminator script and am halfway through Event Horizon trying to get into the headspace and absorb everything and this helped so much. Cheers to everyone writing. I stopped drinking recently and things are coming easier than before.

I really like the explanation

Where can I read screen plays?

I've been writing for some years now, and this video is a great reminder (giving notes) as teaching me new ways to elevate my stories. I'll be able to read older screenplays or current ones (through revisions) to add these touches. Thank you so much!!!

I have a few questions, and I hope someone sees this and can answer. If I have a character speaking to someone over the phone but the character they are speaking two is never physically seen in the scene, but we can hear their dialogue, would I put (O.S) at every one of their lines, or would it be redundant because it's already established in the script that they aren't physically there. Likewise, if two characters are speaking to each other through walkie-talkies or phones, would it be redundant to put (into walkie-talkie) at every one of their lines?

God bless you.

When I'm screenwriting in studiobinder, it always has numbers on the sides of my sluglines. How do I get rid of them?

I'm talking to this crazy bitch rn and she's so fucking crazy makes semse why her groomer is leaving lmaooo, she's gonna ruin me so bad

One page = one minute of screen time. No. A myth.

LIFE saver 😢😢😢. Thank you

One page = One Minute??

It’s like programming the scene.

ThankYou

Barton Fink.

Why does the narrator for this video sound like Gerald Undone?

Please remove the music?

Thank you!

I tried to write my first screenplay when I was a teenager but it didn't go over too well but this has inspired me to get back into the groove of things. Mind you, I've been writing a lot lately but I really want to go down the screenplay route.

What is different between script and screenplay? If I complete my story structure can I write screenplay or script is important? This make me confused 😢

Nothing about the margins

I have a script due in a few days for school. Only 5-7 pages, however no matter how much I have read I couldn’t grasp even the concept of writing. Brain kind of sucks that way, but your video here has helped TREMENDOUSLY. Thank you so much for such a well put together, forward, and informative video.
My script was finished in an hour after polishing (I did have a “vomit draft” prepared)
Thank you for taking a weight off my shoulders, thank you for having the ability to teach someone like myself. Happily subscribed

is that kirk?

Hello can we write different actions in a scene using cut to.
Example: if a person writing a story , then he cleaning the room, dress changing , switch off light and open door and going out . Can we write this as follows ,

Scene 1 Room
Int/Day

Man writing a story

-----Cut to------
Int/Day

Man cleaning the room.

------cut to-------
Int/Day

Man dress changing
------cut to-------
Int/Day

Man switching off the light and open the door and go out.

Reply please.......

Former Actor's LATER becoming Producer's, and Director's, ALL say, the MOST IMPORTANT thing in scriptwriting---is FORMATTING.

FADE-IN ... FADE-OUT, and CAMERA ANGLES, should alway's be left to the Director. When they receive a script, it will be re-written SEVERAL TIMES before production even begins, and even DURING production, it will again be re-written.
Re-writing a script is an ON-GOING process; from the moment the script is sold, to the very END--and even BEYOND!
Often time's, a change in the ending is made and they have to GO BACK, and re-shoot the ENTIRE ENDING SCENE.

Screenplay just seems like instructions for directors. Doesn’t that take away from holding them accountable to be creative. A good director should be able to take a good book and turn it into a movie without help. My opinion

Media students were u at???😂😂

Bro you rock!!! Hope you write screenplay too

Thank you so much, you have given me the courage to begin❤

i thought this would be a basic format video, yall literally went over every technique and showed visuals. i love studiobinder. the only corporate like entity on YT that teaches me as much as individuals/smaller channels like thomas flight, filmento , hi top films. microbudget indie film podcast etc

Totally agree with others that this is succinct and well done!

Fantastic

If you are finding an easiest way to learn to format a screenplay? This video is a must watch, 10000% recommended! <3

I am in my first year of Ba journalism and mass communication and just want you to know this video was incredibly useful

Awesome introduction

Amazing video! So well explained.

CHYRON: 👍

I have a question... I understand the need for formatting but why is dialog not in quotes. It seems to mean that makes it somewhat difficult to differentiate dialog from action lines. By putting dialog in quotation marks, it stands out. Would that make it easier for the actor reading the screenplay to find their lines?

Short and sweet video!

This is perhaps the most informative six minute video I have ever seen
