Screenplay Format #2 - Initial Folder / File Set Up

I am using “Word” in MSOffice in Windows

-           -  for those using typewriters, the same principles apply

 

I have used a separate computer file for each section in the screenplay.

 

These are the sections –

 

      0-0.  Cover Letter

      0-1.  Synopsis

      0-2.  General

      0-3.  Title Page

      0-4.  Script

      1.  Scene Tags

      2.  Scenes

      3.  Scenes / Locations

      4.  Locations / Scenes

      5.  Locations

      6.  Map of Locations

      7.  Montages

      8.  Lifts

      9.  Characters

    10.  Scene Timeline

    11.  Partial WW2 Timeline

 

So firstly,

     -  Open a New Folder

     -  Name it for the Script / Screenplay

     -  Open a New Computer File for each of your sections

     -  Save As, Number and Name them

     -  Place them in the script / screenplay folder

     -  Close them

eg.       Folder        KHAKI TOWN

 

                   Files           0-0-KHAKI TOWN-Cover Letter

                                      0-1-KHAKI TOWN-SYNOPSIS

                                      1-KHAKI TOWN-scene tags
