  • Writers Professional Materials
    Writers Professional Working Materials INTRODUCTION Writers professional working materials and the tools of the trade – they are considered the sales tools for a writer’s work. These will be the most utilised materials when trying to establish yourself as a scriptwriter as either writer-for-hire work or when pitching your own original idea. No Producer or Production Company (locally or internationally) will ever read a script, treatment, logline or synopsis – unless a pre-existing relationship is in place – unsolicited. This means writers first need to be invited to send through materials in the manner that best suits that Producer or Production Companies. This helps to protect copyright or a copyright claim for both parties. It is also important to note that in international territories only Agents are able to introduce writers to Producers and Production Companies. Below each header you will find links to helpful sites and further information. As a screenwriter your job is to write, research, write, learn, write, and adapt. Google is your friend and before you ask Facebook for the answer, ask Google! Or check out the NZWG website for information on knowing your rights, contracting, useful facts and upcoming events. Before going any further, the below link is a must read for newcomers and is aimed at people applying for early development funding. It’s put together by Screen Australia, and is a very basic ‘How To Guide’ for feature filmmakers on application materials included in their application process – logline, synopsis & treatment. https://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/getmedia/ae5708a4-05d9-4db0-b5fb-4f999fdfed57/What-is-a- synopsis.pdf Below are all the materials broken into parts, starting with how to format your works.

  • Screenwriting I Film-M213-002 Engl-A313-002
    SCREENWRITING I FILM-M213-002 ENGL-A313-002 Course Term: FALL 2020 Course Location: ONLINE Class hours: TU/TH, 3:30-4:45 pm Instructor: Miles Doleac, PhD Office Location: CM Building 412 Phone: (Office) 504-865-3430, (Cell) 601-329-1630 Email: [email protected] Office hours: By appointment “A screenplay is a story told with pictures, in dialogue and description, and placed within the context of dramatic structure.” -Syd Field REQUIRED TEXTS: Field, Syd. Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting, rev. ed. New York: Bantam Dell, 2005. McKee, Robert. Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting. New York: HarperCollins, 1997. Rogan, Michael. Screenplay Format Made (Stupidly) Easy. Scriptbully, 2018. COURSE AIM: This course is intended to introduce students to the craft of screenwriting, and, in broader terms, the art of storytelling. In doing so, our focus will be the following: 1) Hollywood paradigms and brilliant scripts that defied them 2) classical dramaturgy, mythology and universal forms: how age-old tropes have been assimilated and appropriated by Hollywood 3) Movie writing as a “combination of art and science” (to borrow Field’s phrase): techniques, tricks and the search for a subject 4) what makes compelling characters and dialogue 5) formal or “traditional” screenwriting structure. NOTE: I place “for- mal screenwriting structure” last in my litany of focus points, because, although important to always keep in mind, the “rules” of screenwriting are often and often quite effectively violated. YOUR CHARGE: By the end of this semester, you will have written 15 or so pages of a NEW screenplay, a self-contained short film.

  • Screenplay Format Guide
    Screenplay Format Guide Format-wise, anything that makes your script stand out is unwise. This may seem counterintuitive. Anything you do to make your screenplay distinctive is good, right? Depart from the traditional format, though, and you risk having your script prejudged as amateurish. A truly conscientious reader will overlook such superficial matters and focus on content. However, if your work looks unprofessional, it may not be taken seriously. To ensure your script gets a fair read, follow these formatting guidelines: It isn’t necessary to file a copyright with the Library of Congress. Your script is automatically protected under common law. However, it’s a good idea to register it, either with an online service, such as the National Creative Registry (protectrite.com), or with the Writers Guild. This being said, the Industry tends to view registration and copyright notices as the marks of a paranoid amateur. You would be wise to leave them off your script. Use a plain cover. White or pastel card stock, not leatherette. Avoid using screw posts or plastic-comb binding. Bind your script with sturdy, brass fasteners, such as those made by ACCOÒ. The ones Staples sells are too flimsy. Readers hate it when a script falls apart in their hands. You can order professional-quality script supplies online from WritersStore.com. Although scripts are printed on three-hole-punched paper, there’s an unwritten rule that speculative scripts are bound with two fasteners, not three. Why this tends to be common practice is unclear. Perhaps it’s because submissions often get copied by the studio’s story department, and it’s easier (and cheaper) if there are only two brads.

  • Bells and Whistles #3
    BELLS AND WHISTLES #3 IMPORTING FOUNTAIN TEXT Going Back in History. In the early days of the internet, screenplay formatting online was a lot more primitive than it is now. We usually wrote screenplay text like this: ΗΜΣ−Λ∆ΧΗΒ≅ΚΝΕΕΗΒ∆—Θ∆Β∆ΟΣΗΝΜ—Χ≅Ξ Σγδνεεηβδγρυφτδκξ≅εθηβµσγδλδ+ϖησγϖηβϕδθγµχηβθεσησδλρ+ δανµξ,βνκνθδχναιδβσρνµσγδϖκκρ+µχοηµσηµφρµχρηκγντδσσδρνε ϖθθηνθρµχοθδφµµσϖνλδµ− ≅οκπτδηµρηχδσγδθδβδοσηνµϖηµχνϖρξρ9 ΧΘ−ΝΡςΗΜ ΣγδΘ∆Β∆ΟΣΗΝΜΗΡΣκννϕρσΓδροδθρσµχηµφσσγδϖηµχνϖ− Θ∆Β∆ΟΣΗΝΜΗΡΣ ∋ϖησγµνδµσγτρηρλ( ΛξΗγδκοξντ> Γ∆ΡΟ∆Θ I’λΓδροδθΦθξρνµ−ΗγυδµοονηµσλδµσϖησγΧθ−Νρϖηµσεντθ, σγηθσξ−Η’λµδϖοσηδµσ− Θ∆Β∆ΟΣΗΝΜΗΡΣ Ξντρξ)µδϖ)>ςδχνµ’σββδοσµδϖοσηδµσρ− Γ∆ΡΟ∆Θ ΑτσΛθρ−Ρβκηβκκδχξντ−Ργδρηχησϖρκκθθµφδχ− Θ∆Β∆ΟΣΗΝΜΗΡΣ Νγ+Λθρ−Ρβκη−−−ξδρ+νεβντθρδ−≅σεντθ,σγηθσξ− The common practice was to type everything flush against the left margin (except for transitions, if we used them). Paired *asterisks* or paired _underscores_ were markers for conveying emphasis. Many writers use essentially the same technique today, with a few enhancements, for drafting screenplay text. The technique has become part of Fountain style. What Is Fountain? Fountain is a simple but rich and useful markup method for preparing screenplay text in a text editor or a word processor. (You only rarely need to use any markup.) You type text as I did in my example, and then you import the text into a screenwriting application (or some other converter program) that supports the Fountain 2 of 6 format. For example, Fade In supports Fountain. When you import a Fountain file, Fade In converts it in a flash to normal screenplay format. Creating Fountain Text. You can use any text editor or any word processor to create your text. Be aware, though, that some issues can arise from the type of text encoding that your text follows.

  • Professional Screenplay Format
    1 The Coverage Ink Spec Format & Style Guide 2017, All Rights Reserved. WELCOME. If you’re considering writing a screenplay, or perhaps you’ve written a few screenplays but are still unsure as to exactly what they are supposed to look like, or even if you’ve written a whole big pile of screenplays and think you know everything -- you’ve come to the right place. Screenplay format is a deceptively difficult thing to master. It looks so easy, even perhaps intuitive, as you read a script, doesn’t it? Sure, the guy talking is in the middle, and then the other stuff is over at the left side… piece o’ cake. But as you sit down to write one yourself, that’s when the headache begins. Where exactly does the dialogue go? Is it centered? Am I supposed to tell the camera what to do? (Hint: the word “CAMERA” should never, ever appear in your screenplay.) What words get CAPITALIZED? How do I tell the audience that this line is supposed to be sarcastic and said with a wink? And on and on. Well, fear not! We’re here to help you master screenplay format. And we’re going to do it in a breezy, accessible style, because learning this stuff should be fun, not an exercise in tedium. Relieved? We certainly hope so. One more thing: while there are rules and industry standards to be sure, there is no one true and correct way to format a screenplay, as you will see. Plenty of writers do things differently.
