  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Producers searching through potential scripts no longer consider finding a screenplay that’s laid out in the correct manner as a bonus; it’s an absolute expectation. With free screenwriting software now widely available online, there’s really no excuse not to have a professional-looking script, no matter your level of experience. Yet even now, writers still continue to scrimp on the basics. Small but fundamental errors can and do leave a bad impression. At a time when writing standards have never been so high, writers need to make sure that their screenplay cannot be faulted. This guide will examine every element of formatting a screenplay, primarily focusing on formatting a feature screenplay, unless stated otherwise.
