right, but like i said, i tend to format certain spots in certain ways just to cut the nitpickers off at the sourse, especially if there's a rating system involved and they knock my formatting down b/c i didn't specify the giant inflatable gorilla was outside of the car properly...@Conz
I think the main problem with all of this is, as much as people (from amateur to professional) will tell you there's a standard "format" for scripts, there really isn't one. People tend to have a format in their head that comes from the first things they read, so if yours doesn't match exactly, they tell you shyt like "that's now how it's done", "I can't tell if we're watching the phone convo from one side, or if it's intercut"
You can read two professional scripts that both tackle the same problem differently.
The real truth is, as long as it's clear, it's fine.
When people read my shyt, I tend to ask them basic questions to clarify if my "direction" was clear.
"Yo, when John was talking to Sally on the phone, did you get that we were cutting back and forth?" or "When you were watching the scene of Sally at the party, did you get that it was silent and you what you hear is John talking to the priest about her?"
If they get confused, I know I've got to go back and make it clearer.
***in reality, the second you write the word "phone" they should know what the fukk is going on.
*** how great would it be if you could write scripts with Coli smilies? you'd never have to wrack your brain over the perfect way to describe someone's reaction or spend 5 minutes checking a thesaurus for the right adjective
... Work?
You were with her weren't you?
