Screenplay Clarifications
• Movies happen faster than life.
• INT: interior
• EXT: exterior
• CUT: the scene is cut, the camera changes its focus, we only cut on ACTION.
• Scenes begin with action and not dialogue.
• In movies, we write exclusively what we hear or see (AudioVisual).
• Information, explanation, unnecessary description are not allowed.
• Character names are only all caps the first time they’re introduced.
• When a character is first introduced, his/her age is written next to him/her, especially for protagonists.
• Scene titles proceed from the wider to the subset.
• Success relies on continuously surpassing ourselves.
