NAME OF STORY

An original work, is one that you have come up with yourself.

An adapted work, is one that you have based on a book or play, etc., done by someone else.

 

 

BASED ON THE BOOK, ETC.

 

“Based on the book, etc.”       

-  Use if applicable

 

 

YOUR BUSINESS NAME & WHITE DRAFT

You can use your own name, for your business name,

if you don’t have a business identity.

 

The date I used, was the date that I started to write the screenplay.

Those in the US (and maybe elsewhere) will note that in Australia,

Day is first, then Month, then YEAR.

But, you can put, Month, Day, then YEAR.

To avoid confusion, I always write the month as a three letter word,

ie., Jan, Feb, Mar, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.
