  • How to format shot headings, dialogue, direction and transitions
  • How to control pace with formatting
  • How to make a script page visually inviting to the reader
  • What to capitalise and why
  • How to get into and out of a POV shot
  • How to handle text messages and Zoom meetings
  • How Hollywood's most innovative screenwriters are pushing the boundaries of format
  • How format for animation differs from live action formats
Simply put, Riley knows more about script format than anyone in Hollywood and shares it all in this indispensable guide.
