Time was when movie makers used hand-written scripts for movies, but times have changed and screen writing has become an organized profession, it is a creative process. The movie screenplays need formatting, so that actors are able to read the script and play their part assigned to them.

Many talented people, the technicians, artists, production executive’s work as a team for making a movie, all of them require a properly formatted script, a screenplay cannot be used for movie making unless a formatted script is not available. The process of converting a screenplay into a formatted script begins with first breaking down the screenplay into a time schedule that includes the number of days and nights of filming required.

The film may have different sequences, a formula that experts use is one film script page will require one minute of film, and this calculation helps them to schedule the filming accordingly. The movies have a rhythm of story telling that have a blend of action, camera techniques, music and sound effects and dialogue. The formatted movie script allows the professionals involved in the production to foresee the direction the movie will follow.

The screenplays consist of 110 to 130 pages when formatted, and after filming the script, the running time of the movie is close to two hours, this is where formatted scripts play an important role in movie making. The standardized script formatting allows movie makers to handle multiple projects simultaneously.

The formatted screenplay printed copies are on white paper with black ink. The fonts used are 12 point Draft Courier or 12 Point Courier New. The rewritten parts of the printed script are on colored paper, and every time new content added to the scripts is on a different colored paper, the transcripts start with white followed by blue, pink, green, yellow, goldenrod, and salmon. There are transcription companies that specialize in preparing formatted movie scripts.

Movies are the universally recognized medium that shows how we view ourselves and the world. Making of a film is a collaboration of many art forms.
