Formatting Software

In the movie business, proper screenplay format is paramount. You can write the most riveted screenplay Hollywood has seen in decades, but if the format is wrong it won't get read. Screenplay format is to the director what a blueprint is to the builder — a detailed plan of what is to be constructed. Don't give anyone an excuse not to build your screenplay into a film. The key to successful screenplay format is to keep it simple. One's ability to follow this directive is what separates the amateur from the professional. You only get one chance to make a first impression. Make it correctly. Again — no one in the industry wants to read an improperly formatted screenplay. Competition is too fierce.
