You need to ALLIGN the dialouge TO THE LEFT and move the tabs at the top of the word document to 2 and 14
To turn your script into a shooting script you need to use these conventions as appropriate: abbreviations for shots, eg Medium close up is written as “MCU”. If two people are in
the shot it’s “2S” camera angles, low/high/bird’s eye etc. camera movement, is it still, shaking, handheld or panning (left to right or right to
left) or tilting (down to up or up to down)?
