The whale the office script3/21/2024 It’s not perfect, but it’s refreshingly straightforward and anticipates most of the situations screenwriters are likely to face. The book I’ve chosen to give up with is The Hollywood Standard by Christopher Riley. I’m going to cede all formating concerns to a printed book (yes, they still make them) which can answer newbie questions and let me focus on other points of word-pushing. So it’s entirely reasonable that I’ve received many, many questions about margins and sluglines and whether a half-covered stadium is “INT.” or “EXT.”īut I’m done. And nowhere is its strangeness more apparent than the formatting. Screenwriting is an odd form: half stageplay and half technical document, somewhere between art and craft. My initial ambition in writing the IMDb column, and then in creating the site, was to answer a lot of the questions I had when I was first starting out. This site caters largely to aspiring screenwriters new to the profession. For simple formatting questions, you can visit screenwriting.io. I think screenwriters are much better served by reading scripts of produced films, which you can easily find online. Update in February 2021: I no longer recommend (or half-recommend) this book.
