first 2 pages of script

1. Title of script Timings – Title page and 1 st pages 1 min 58 seconds Contact details- we need to include this so that if there are any question or issues you can contact the writer. Also there so that you can contact for to see what they should do next to turn the script into a movie with poster etc. Font – courier/ courier new Size - 12 Need these to be included so that it fits into the brief.

2. Page number Slug lines – allows whoever is ready the script (actors, director, etc.) where the scene is set at. This involves if its inside or outside, where and if its day or night. Characters first appearance – formatted by having the name of the characters in capital letter. Formatted like this so that it is easily shown what character is doing what and that the main people like the actor, producers and directors know what is happening with that character and also what their dialogue is. The names of characters speaking are in the middle of the page and are in capital letters so actors and others reading find it easy to distinguish an actor and characters dialogue. Action – tells us what is happening, are suppose to be very descriptive. Used so that actors know what they are suppose to act and do an action at this point to then move on to the rest of the script. Narrative structure – doesn’t give anything away about the character until you either first see them or when they first have dialogue. Fairly cringy structure because its suppose to be a cringy American paranormalhorror movie. For example when stacy says “ thank god because if anything happened we wouldn’t stand a chance.” is quite cringy in itself and foreshadows what is going to happen to them.

3. Brackets – used so that it is a bit more padantic at where the actor is suppose to do a specific thing coupled/ while there point of dialogue. Also is easier for actors, producers and directors etc. to understand.
