The New Elements of Standard Screenplay Format is a simplified
guide to the rules and uses of standard screenplay format in the
computer age. After years of complaints from script readers about
the abysmal format of screenplays and hundreds of conflicting
books, websites, and articles of what format is, here, finally, is
a definitive work on the reason why format exists and how it can be
used to improve both the screenplay and the connection between
writer and production. While screenplay format has not changed much
since the 1930'S, the word processor and digital production
breakdown software have created new challenges for the 21st century
screenwriter. Format should make the script mesh seamlessly into
digital production software, which only looks for correct format.
Without correct format, script readers, producers, and film crews
may not believe the script is professional or producible or that
the writer is someone to bring onto the set. Screenplay format was
developed by the film industry to better insure the work of a
screenwriter would be accurately and effectively translated to
film. This book simplifies these rules for the writer and explains
their purpose and uses. It also weeds out those format elements
which annoy readers and hinder the work of A.D.s and P.M.s prepping
a script for production.
