Rules for Formatting Screenplay

• Always have a cover page
• Every character that has a speaking role is in capital letters
• Capitalize any sound that is important to the narrative
• Dialogue is formatted in the center
• Use master headers for location 
• Put the action or what is taking place under the master header
• Put o.s if it's off screen, put o.c if it's off camera and put v.o if it's a voice over
• Use a sub heading when it is in the same location but in a new part of the location
• When action interrupts dialogue make a new indentation
• Write out all numbers because each page has to be a minute long
• If something needs emphasis underline
• Indicate who you are talking to
