Draft Title Log For Free

The basics of script formatting are as follows: 12-point Courier font size. 1.5 inch margin on the left of the page. 1 inch margin on the right of the page. 1 inch on the of the top and bottom of the page. Each page should have approximately 55 lines. The dialogue block starts 2.5 inches from the left side of the page.

The first page is the title page, which should also be written in Courier 12pt font. No graphics, no fancy pictures, only the title of your script, with ?written by? and your name in the center of the page. In the lower left-hand or right-hand corner, enter your contact information.

The best titles often wrap the genre and overall concept together in as few words as possible. Because the title is your first marketing tool that Hollywood sees, you want to find those words and terms that best encapsulate your whole screenplay.

Capitalize major words of the title. Place the main title and any subtitle on separate double-spaced lines if desired. There is no maximum length for titles; however, keep titles focused and include key terms. Place one double-spaced blank line between the paper title and the author names.

How do I print the title page with my script? Windows: Go to File > Print and towards the bottom of the window make sure there is a check in the Include Title Page box. Click OK and the script will print out with the title page.

Your screenwriting software should make it easy for you to format the title page. Most title pages use standard Courier 12-point font....There are only four things that should be on the title page of your script: The script title. Your name. The draft's date. Your contact details.

Final Draft Go to File > Save As PDF and check or clear the Include Title Page checkbox. If you are using a filtered PDF export (under File > Print), check or clear the Include Title Page checkbox there.
