Screenplay Format #22 - Timelines - Part 1


For a better    Overview    of the    Whole Story,    I constructed    2    Time Lines –
 
            -  A     Time Line    of    Scenes,
               in    Chronological Order    of    Time
            -  A    Time Line    of    Major Real    World War 2 Events
               which were part of the    Background    to the    Story,
               in    Chronological Order    of    Time
 
These helped me to understand and co-ordinate the Story, in a much better way.
 
They are contained in    2    Files –
 
            10-KHAKI TOWN-Scene Timeline
            11-KHAKI TOWN-PARTIAL WW2 TIMELINE



1.  SCENE TIME LINE
 
 
eg.











































To    Construct    this type of    Scene Time Line –
 
            -  OPEN    the    File    10-NAME-Scene Timeline
          
 
            -  CHANGE   the    TABS    back to the    DEFAULT SETTING,    in this way –
-  LEFT CLICK    on the    Arrow Box    in the bottom right corner
   of the    Paragraph section,
   in the    Home Ribbon    which runs along the top of the Page File
   A    Paragraph Dialogue Box    will appear
-  LEFT CLICK    on the    Tabs    button in the bottom left corner
   A    Tabs Dialogue Box    will appear
-  In the    Default tab stops:    box –
Change the size of the    Tab    -
Either –
-  DELETE    1.0 cm
-  TYPE IN    1.27 cm    (the Default Setting)
Or –
-  LEFT CLICK    on the   
   Up Arrow Box    or the    Down Arrow Box
   which are to the right of the
   Default tab stops:    box
Close the    Tabs Dialogue Box –
Either –
-  PRESS    OK   
Or -  
-  LEFT CLICK    the    Close button    X
   in the top right corner
 
I changed back to the Default Tabs Setting for the Timelines, as it gives 2 even Tabs in the Left Margin, which is convenient.
 
 
 
HEADING
 
            -  TYPE IN    an appropriate    HEADING    to Describe    what your    Time Line    represents.
 
 
eg.    I have used this    Heading –
________________________________________________________________________________

MARGINS
 
I removed the    Left    and    Right     Margins
to allow for extra space around the information,
 
To Remove the Margins –
 -  PRESS & HOLD    ENTER    to    MOVE DOWN    to the    LINE BELOW    the    HEADING
    and    ALL THE WAY DOWN    to the    FOOTER 
    This establishes all the lines down the page.
            -  SELECT    all these    LINES  -
                        -  PLACE THE CURSOR    on the    LINE BELOW    the    HEADING
                           and    ALIGNED    to the    LEFT MARGIN
                        -  LEFT CLICK    the    CURSOR,    so that there is a    FLASHING LINE    underneath it  
   -  LEFT CLICK & HOLD & DRAW THE CURSOR DOWN THE MARGIN TO THE  
      FOOTER
   -  UNHOLD LEFT CLICK
               While things are Selected, what is changed will apply only to those things.
               In this case, the Heading and upwards will not be changed.
            -  REDUCE    the    LEFT MARGIN    to    ZERO,
               by Moving the    LEFT INDENT,    on the    RULER    at the    TOP    of the    PAGE,
               to the    LEFT END    of the    RULER
            -  REDUCE    the    RIGHT MARGIN    to    ZERO,
               by Moving the    RIGHT INDENT,    on the    RULER    at the    TOP    of the    PAGE,
               to the    RIGHT END    of the    RULER
            -  UNSELECT EVERYTHING
 
               The Line Below the Heading and all Lines Downward,
               including New Pages generated Below,
               will now have this New Setting of No Margins.
 
               This now allows more room for information to be Typed Into these Areas.
 
 
 
SCENES
 
            -  OPEN    your File    2-NAME-Scenes

12.    YEARS

I have also Divided the Timeline into Years, in this way -
 
            -  COPY    the year    IN BOLD    that is useful as a reference –
            -  GO TO    the    LINE ABOVE    the    FIRST LINE    of    SCENES    for that year
  -  PLACE    the    CURSOR    at the    LEFT EDGE    of the    PAGE
  -  LEFT CLICK    on it to make it a Flashing Line
  -  PRESS ENTER ONCE    
     This creates an Extra Line
  -  PRESS TAB ONCE  
  -  PASTE    the Year in
  -  PRESS ENTER ONCE
      This creates a Space Line
               Do the Same for each relevant Year.

CENTRE LINE
 
To make the    Centre Line,    follow these steps –
 
 
1.  Gridlines
 
            -  LEFT CLICK    on    View    at the Top of the Ribbon
               to open up the    VIEW RIBBON
            -  In the    Show    Section –
                        -  LEFT CLICK    in the    Gridlines    box,
                           so that there is a    Tick    inside it
                           This will bring up a pattern of Gridlines on the document page / s 
 
eg.

 








 

2.  Straight Lines 
 
            -  LEFT CLICK    on the    Insert Tab    in the    Ribbon
               The    Insert Ribbon    will appear.
            -  GO TO    the    Illustrations Section
            -  LEFT CLICK    on the    Shapes Icon
               A Menu of Shapes will appear.
            -  GO TO    the    Lines Section
            -  LEFT CLICK    on the    Line






-  MOVE    the    CURSOR    onto the Page
               It will become a    BLACK CROSS    which Marks the beginning of the Line








-  PLACE    the    BLACK CROSS    where you want the Line to    START
            -  LEFT CLICK & HOLD 
            -  MOVE    the    CURSOR    to where you want the Line to    END                      
                        -  NOT MOVING    the Cursor    PAUSES    the Drawing Motion
                        -  UNHOLDING    the    LEFT CLICK,
                           FINALISES    the Shape,
                           a    CIRCLE    will appear at each    END
                           and a    Drawing Tools Tab    will appear on the Ribbon,
                           with the words    Shape Format    underneath it
                        -  LEFT CLICK    on the words    Shape Format
                           The    Shape Format Ribbon    appears           
            To change the Colour of the Line -
            In the Shape Format Ribbon –
                        -  GO TO    the    Shape Styles Section
                        -  LEFT CLICK    on the words    Shape Outline
                           A Menu will appear
                        -  LEFT CLICK    on the    Colour Square    of your choice
   For more advanced colour options –
                                    -  LEFT CLICK    More Outline Colors
                                    -  LEFT CLICK    either / or
                                                -  the    STANDARD    Tab
                                                -  the    CUSTOM    Tab
                                    Choose the colour that you want
                                    -  LEFT CLICK    OK
                           That Colour will be applied 
            To change the Weight (Thickness) of the Line -
            In the Shape Format Ribbon –
                        -  GO TO    the    Shape Styles Section
                        -  LEFT CLICK    on the words    Shape Outline
                           A Menu will appear
                        -  MOVE    the    CURSOR    down to    Weight
                           A Secondary Menu will appear
                        -  MOVE    the Cursor across and down to the    Line Weight    that you want
                        -  LEFT CLICK    on it
                           That Line Weight will be applied
            To remove the Circles -
                        -  LEFT CLICK    on any    White Space    on the Page
                           The    CIRCLES   will disappear
 
eg.
 
Line Colour  -  Black
Line Weight  -  1½ pt
 











 



 
   Place the    Centreline    where it is most convenient for your information,
and however    Long    Down the Page,    as required.
 
 
 
3.  Cross Members
 
At certain points,    I placed    Cross Members    to make it easier to see between the    Months.
 

eg.







 



 




 
   This is achieved, by using the    Same Method    as above,
but placing the    Line    Horizontally    instead of    Vertically.
 
 
There is a problem, though.
The    Lines    will not    Transfer Across    to the    Next Page,
So they have to be    Drawn Up    in    Each Page.
And they tend to jump around a bit.
So, they can become a bit unmanageable.
 
 
When all the    Lines    are in their correct places,
you may choose to keep the    Gridlines    in place, to help with aligning text.
 
 
 
4.  Removing the Gridlines
 
When the    Gridlines    are no longer needed –
            -  LEFT CLICK    on    View    at the Top of the Ribbon
               to open up the    VIEW RIBBON
            -  In the    Show    Section –
                        -  LEFT CLICK    in the    Gridlines    box,
                           so that the    Tick    inside it disappears
                           This will remove the pattern of Gridlines on the document page / s 
 

eg.

















   So, in the previous example, the Centre Line and Cross Members would look like this –
 
eg.











 
 

















 
            -  CHECK    that all the    TEXT    is comfortably within the    LEFT HAND COLUMN
 
            -  TYPE IN    any    Relevant Pieces of Information    in the    RIGHT HAND COLUMN
               ALIGNED    to their chronological place along the    TIMELINE
               ALIGNED    1 OR SO TABS    TO THE RIGHT     of the    CENTRE LINE

 eg.       Betty turns 18































          -  REMOVE    the    GRID LINES
 
eg.











 
 


















   TIMEFRAME
 
From the Scene Time Line –
 
            -  DETERMINE    the    START POINT    in    TIME    of the    STORY
                        eg.       1900
            -  DETERMINE    the    END POINT    in    TIME    of the    STORY
                        eg.       1964
            -  TYPE    these into the    HEADING
 
eg.
