Professional Scriptwriting Software, such us Final Draft or Movie Magic Screenwriter, will definitely make your life easier by taking care of the format, but will not answer questions about the form that all writers have in mind:

    •    How do I format a phone conversation between two characters?
    •    How do I format two scenes that take place simultaneously in two different locations?
    •    Can I insert images or a storyboard?
    •    What if a character speaks a foreign language?
    •    When do I need to lock the pages of my script?
    •    What is the color code order in the revision mode?
    •    What is the difference between a synopsis, a treatment or an outline?
    •    and many others...

These are the types of fundamental questions that you might have asked yourself one day.

So if you are about to start writing your script or are in the middle of it, facing some difficulties finding the right form for a specific scene, read our screenwriting guide.

Remember: If Professional Scriptwriting Software takes care of the format, it is your responsibility as a screenwriter to take care of the form. It will help you to make the difference. Otherwise, it ends up on the reject pile along with 95% of all screenplays submitted.  Readers are looking for a reason to say “no.” Don’t make it that easy for them.

The Screenwriting Guide answers all these fundamental questions.
