6th grade SCRIPTWRITING

There are three bodies of a script: Headings, narrative and dialogue.

Headings:
1. Master scene headings which include:
a) Camera location - EXT. (exterior or outside) or INT. (interior or inside)
b) Scene location (LOCAL RACE TRACK)
c) Time (DAY or NIGHT)

Narrative Description:
1. Action
2. Character and settings (visual)
3. Sounds

Dialogue:
1. The name of the person speaking appears at the top, in CAPS.
2. The actors direction.
3. The speech.
Putting all this together you should come up with something that looks like this:

INT. SCHOOL CLASSROOM - DAY

ALANA EDWARDS, age 14, sits in her desk and looks at the chalkboard which lists the daily activities.

ALANA (sighing, raises her hand)
Ms. Johnson, didn't we do this already yesterday?

MS. JOHNSON, sitting at her desk, marking student attendance.

MS. JOHNSON (looks up)
Alana, yes, we did do this yesterday and we need to
continue today. Next time you have a question, please
wait to be called on after you raise your hand.
