A PowerPoint lesson by Jim Soto

If you are writing a script that you want other people to produce, then you need to be writing in the Master Scene Format. The purpose of this format is readability. This Format has 6 main elements and we’ll touch on them very briefly.  Scene Heading (Slug line)  Action  Character Name  Parentheticals  Dialogue  Transitions

1.With what phrase must one begin a screenplay? 2.How is dialogue justified in relation to the page? 3.What is the difference between voice over and off screen dialogue? 4.Why is tone important? 5.What is a slugline?
