    Document1 10/25/2019

    This is an example script created with screenplay.dot

    ACT I – This is heading level 1

    Checkpoints are heading level 2 – The style may be set to hidden later

    SCENE NAMES ARE CALLED SLUGLINES – THEY'RE HEADING 3

    Action appears like this.

    Character names appear before dialog using the Character


    style:

    STEVE
    Here is a line of dialogue
    (a parenthetical comment describes how it
    should be read)

    I added these two non-standard styles for a musical:

    Song Title

    Song Lyrics need a wider line and are italic

    Note that all bolding, italics and colors are non-


    standard, but I find they make it a lot easier to work on
    the script. You can always turn them off simply by
    changing the style's format when you're finished.

    The next page shows what a real script looks like:

    EXT. APARTMENT - DAY

    We see Clark is standing in front of an apartment


    building, looking puzzled. The numbers 666 appear next to
    the front doorway. Cleaver enters, reading a newspaper
    and whistling.

    CLARK
    Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where
    I can find 1966 Elm street? It's an
    apartment building.

    Cleaver lowers his paper and looks at Clark like he's


    insane. He looks at the building, then back at Clark.
    Then, gesturing with the paper...

    CLEAVER
    You're standin' in front of it.

    Clark looks at the building, then back at Cleaver.

    CLARK
    That's 666.

    Cleaver looks back at the building as if for the first


    time, then walks to the steps and rotates the first 6
    until it's a 9. He raises his eyebrows at Clark.

    CLARK
    966?

    CLEAVER
    (after a pregnant pause)
    We lost the 1.
    (Clark opens his mouth but Cleaver cuts
    him off)
    Look, Bub, I oughta know. This is the
    building where I live.
