Screen play | Script | Writing

A screenplay is a script, which tells what the actor has to say, how to say it and when to say it.

A screenplay has the name of a person speaking, what they are saying, how the person is saying it and the scene name. It needs the name of person speaking to know who is speaking. The scene name tells what will happen next. Screenplays include how the person should speak so the actors can add expression to their film.

The scene name has to be in all caps. The speech doesn't need to include speech marks and the different features of a screenplay need to be separated so that it is easier to know what is happening.

It is important to know how to write a short screenplay so the actors know what to say and how to say it. It is also important to keep it short so actors dont have to waste their time reading the script.
