I need help with script writing! Can someone help me!?!?

Question

Ok, so I have to write the first ten pages of my movie idea for my film lit. class. And I just finished typeing out scene 2 and it ended in the middle of a page. Do I move striaght on to scene 3 or do I have to put "TRANSISTION" or "CONTINUED" and then start on scene three?

Example:

My character leaves for lunch. (end of scene two)

3 Ext -- constuction site -- Day 3


Is that what it's suppose to look like? Or do I put transistion of continued before i start scene three? I don't think I am but it looks weird on the page.

Answer 1

If your taking this class for an entire semester (and I assume you are) and/or if you plan to do any more script writing, you might want to consider purchasing a Scriptbuddy Screenplay Format Guide (I've included the link below). They're not expensive and you'll probably find it useful for your class. You might also consider buying "Dr. Format Answers Your Questions, Revised Edition" by David Trottier, but only if you're going to continue writing scripts after you finish with this class. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money.

I've also included a link below to a page containing formatting and transitional information. Hope it helps. Good luck!

Here's a quick article about script formatting on scene transitions that might help you:
