Format

Here is a basic list of how your script should be formatted.

• Typeface Always use Courier 12-point font!
• Margins Because of the 3-hole punched paper, the Left margin should be 1.5 inches and the Right is .5 inches.
  Top and Bottom should be 1 inch each.
  Dialogue -2.5 inches from the left- will be about 3 to 3.5 inches wide and shouldn't extend more than 6 inches from the left.
  Character's Name at 3.7 inches and above the dialogue.
• Page Numbers should be located in the upper right hand corner and then double space and continue writing.
• First Page A screenplay begins with FADE IN:
• Last Page At the end of your script you should type The End and center it, or double space, to the far right of the page, and type FADE OUT.
