In this lecture, I'm going to describe some professional tips for your script pricing. First of all, begin your script with the words feeding. After this, you can write the first scene heading, or a description. Scene headings begin with IMT or x t, to denote internal or external. These are always written in capitals and followed by a full stop or a period. Next comes a location.

For example, car park, or the CEOs office. On The Scene heading ends with the words day or night If absolutely necessary, you could add dawn or dusk. But avoid this if you can. If you use these terms, it means that the production team has to catch good conditions at the right time of day at a certain location adds to production costs and it causes delays. You can show the passage of time, like this, and action like this, or indicate a special circumstance like this. If a scene takes place in multiple locations, for example, different officers in the same building, it isn't necessary to create a scene heading for each one.

Just write a subheading to indicate the location and do not Include day or night. Keep descriptions down to three or four lines of text. Add only relevant information and don't try to describe every detail about the setting. The reader will imagine the details and it's also the director's job to provide them.

The reader should almost know who is speaking, by the way that he's speaking. Dialogue should seem natural in daily life, observe how people speak and copy it. But don't include the phrases that don't move the store. Hold the plot forward.

To get a good handle on how to write dialogue, read many successful scripts, as many as you can. In this way, you learn how the professionals structure their characters dialogue to the best effect. When someone speaks, and they're not in the scene, it's called voiceover. And in brackets or parentheses, v. o is written next to the character's name. If a character is in a scene that can't be seen, there off screen, and then parentheses, oh S is written by the name. This is often used if a person is speaking from another room.
