This is a template for writing a script in MS Word.
MAKE A COPY, AND SAVE IT AS A DOCUMENT TEMPLATE (.DOT) FOR USE IN WRITING YOUR FEATURE SCRIPTS. EACH TIME YOU START A NEW SCRIPT, JUST DELETE THESE WORDS AND START WRITING SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE PARAGRAPH STYLE AS YOU GO.
THE PARAGRAPH STYLES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
CHARACTER
DESCRIPTION
DIALOGUE
PARENTHESIS
SLUG LINE
TRANSITION
FADE IN:
slug line
This gives you the scene header (eg 1. INT. ROOM – DAY) and then when you press ENTER or RETURN automatically sets up the next line for the descriptions.
USE DESCRIPTION STYLE FOR ALL THE DESCRIPTION OF ACTION, VISUALS, SOUND, ETC.
CHARACTER STYLE
Gives you the name of someone speaking and when you press ENTER or RETURN automatically sets up the Dialogue style for speech.
(parenthesis style - use rarely!)
Parenthesis style also automatically sets up Dialogue on hitting RETURN.
And Transition style is for, well, transitions such as:
FADE OUT:
That’s it.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
TURN OFF THE AUTOMATIC NUMBERING ON THE SLUG LINE STYLE FOR EVERY DRAFT EXCEPT SHOOTING SCRIPT. (CHECK HELP TO SEE HOW TO DO THIS FOR YOUR VERSION OF WORD).
USE THE FORMAT/STYLE MENU OPTION TO SET UP SHORTCUT KEYS FOR EACH STYLE FOR EASE OF USE.
