Screenplay codes and conventions


Above there is a section taken from the Superman film in which I have analysed to show what should be included in which is included in the slide below



This is showing the codes and conventions of a film script and where these are included, they should be included in each script for the following reasons:
  • Page numbers -
    For reference in which page the actors/directors or need to be on. 
  • Stage directions -
    For reference to know where, what and how the actors need to be doing
  • Character names-
    To know who is speaking for the crew to know who to show in the shot
  • Directors notes -
    For the crew, director and everyone else to be aware of what needs to be done for improvement.
  • Way of speech -
    The way the character must speak the line to know the effect for the scene






This is a phony script I made copying the codes and conventions of a movie script.
