These are very specific details about how a script is structured, down to specific measurements for indenting and margins, and one of the best I’ve seen!
@@DAMON409 yes, and I’ve written software for scriptwriting which is why I was interested in the specifics. Thanks for pointing this out though, I would have never known.
When I was young I was overwhelmed by the enormity of two things: (A) learning to write in the framework of a screenplay and (B) thinking of anything to write about in the first place. So, I tackled the first problem first. I cracked open an old short novel I liked and typed it up in screenplay format. It gave me that "Hell, I can do this!" feeling. (Events took me elsewhere and I'm just now getting back to this rather late in life, so I love StudioBinder.)
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for that idea. I've been getting into screenwriting recently and I think rewriting one of my favorite novels in screenplay format may help me learn. Thanks!!
That is such a cool idea! I am in the process of looking for creative activities to give teens during a screen writing workshop and think this would be great. Thanks!
This is (of course) one of the better explanations of screenplay formatting. Which, I’d expect nothing less from studiobinder. This channel never ceases to amaze me
It should not be corrected. The word cease means stop. When he says “never cease to amaze me” he’s saying, “you never stop amazing me” so he was already correct from the jump.
Is it legal to make videos like this for free? I mean Studiobinder, you are amazing. May happiness be with you and the entire Studiobinder crew. Love from the heart
I don't see how this would be illegal. They are paying for the rights to share the content from the videos they are referencing and they are showing industry standard practices not proprietary practices. The only things that they are using in this video that is proprietary is their own SaaS. In all honesty, Studiobinder is the best UA-cam channel at advertising their own product. It's entertaining and educational.
Int. Room - Day Naweed is experiencing immense happiness after acquiring a profound understanding of screenplay writing, all thanks to the invaluable lessons provided by the StudioBinder UA-cam channel.
@@shivambhanushali3086 Int. Room - Day Back camera shot, gives us Naweed's look from behind and a 4 second glimpse of what's on screen of laptop/smarpthone where we see youtube video playing, Naweed is dancing laughing while holding his laptop/smartphone, the audio of the youtube video from studiobinder about screenwriting can be heard with a jolly background music, the saperation of music and audio must be insisted carefully, camera slowly now moves away from center of our character while he is dancing to at least 4-6 meters away and stop. Cut to Naweed in a bus seat with earbuds in his ears and again watching studiobinder video in smartphone, all the time the camera remains static and covering naweed only, we get an idea that he's watching studiobinder's video because the audio of video is heard. Camera slowly moves to horizontally right where we see Tarantino reading a novel and as he sees the YT video is using his movie as an example and reads the title, tarantino asks naweed if he wants to work with him, naweed agrees, tarantino smiles, cut to naweed and tarantino sitting in a house discussing, naweed proposes an excellent written opening scene for Inglorious bstrds, tarantino is impressed, rest is history.

I must say just wow again. I had no idea about the strict rules referring to movie script writing. I have to admit, I do now respect these professionals in the business a lot more than I did before. Understanding there’s way more to it than (most important, of course) creativity. So kudos to all writers in the field and thank you once more for an eye and mind opening video. Being the capital COURIER of filming insights, I’ll stay FONT of you.
Quite literally such a perfect concise video. The way this channel has helped me over the last few months is insurmountable. Thank you StudioBinder!!! Growing to be a better writer everyday.
Top notch. I've been watching video after video of how to write a movie script-Pretenders!-but this video outshines them like they were in the shadows and this is the bright sunlight. It's three times as much info as all of them put together. THIS is how the pros do it. Having watched this video, you now have all you need to write a script. Stop watching any more videos on scriptwriting and WRITE!
I've seen several videos explaining the screenplay and none of the others are as clear as this one. It gives you background history about the format, what are the elements of the screenplay format, how to use them in different ways, advice on what to do and what not to do, and examples of how some writers break the rules to show what they want us to see. Brilliant!
When this channel blows up, it will blow up big. I dont even watch movies or tv or much streaming, just youtube and i find every one of your videos so interesting.
Even though I have written at least 4 scripts, this video is literally the most important video about screenplay structure ever made !! LITERALLY!!! ❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 A lot of important pieces of information!!
With this channel you have a possibility to learn everything about filmmaking and cinematography without losing 200-300k on SAE or PFI. Absolutely wonderful channel and thanks everyone that are creators of content like this!
I love Filmmaking and Screenwriting one of my favorite Freelancing Careers I was just writing a Horror Film Script on Google Docs while watching *Halloween* I love watching this channel cause it helps the Improvement of my writing skills thank you StudioBinder
Halfway through this and I can personally confirm I needed this! (Been very busy and only recently just got some time to breathe, and I decided to finally get started on the first draft of the script for my short film!) This comprehensive break down of a traditional script structure is just what I needed to help me get a starting idea on how to print my concept in a way that is professional, or at least understandable to others!
Good job! I'm really proud of you for getting your script done, really. Making a script is difficult but so captivating on how you draft it into your film.
I love love loved this video! Such useful information for anyone who interacts with screenplays, and executed in such an engaging way! Every time I watch a studiobinder video, I'm exposed to movie scenes I wouldn't have seen otherwise, which makes me want to watch them. Wonderful work!
The only thing I’d ever want artificial intelligence to do for me in writing, is format my screenplay for me. It is rarely conducive to the flow of my thoughts. This video is an exceptionally helpful reference as is all you material. Thanks, guys.
This is truly a gold mine of knowledge. I think most of us understand a screenplay. I know how to write it and yet i found many details tht explain the why of things instead of just the use. Love the historical facts and the color pages are something i heard but never understood. Really a great lesson because at the end shows how every writer, writes. Like a unique voice in books, specially kaufman who is the most unique writer i know. I was hoping to see pedro almodovar because his scripts are like novels, hope you do almodovar videos.
*_StudioBinder would you please make a series or a seperate video on "Film Grammer" or "Film Glossary" that every filmmaker and cinematographer should know🙏😇*
As a beginning screenwriter and a long time creative writer I have been feeling unsure as to where I can put my own personality, vision, and humor into a script while not upsetting readers with "fluff" or being controlling of how other parts of the cast and crew adapt the script. I really appreciate the Creative Applications section of this video, though is there somewhere I can go for additional tips or a more in depth look into it? This is such an excellent video, thank you!
This is an inspiring video! This I feel finally encapsulates my understanding of cinema, as I am so visually focused. Seeing the "layout" of text provided clear understanding of the where and how every piece of action comes in play from screenplay writing to film. Very cool video, I've been heavily researching to give myself a shot at writing. The template almost makes the process seem so streamlined that it has me busting out the pen and paper for my own attempts! Fantastic video, great composition and insights! Thanks for the inspiration StudioBinder!
Somebody give the editor of this video, a raise for going hand to hand with the narrator and keeping up with him which adds a bit of comedy to it!😂😂😂 Brilliant!
Now I can format my margins and tab spaces like a real professional writer! If only I could think of something to write about... Seriously though, thank you so much for this video, @StudioBinder! I love technical details like this.
Missed opportunity: when talking about the different script colours, you should have used from The Making of The Shining, Jack Nicholson (along with Stanley Kubrick) “Of course, we never have the latest version” 😁
It’s interesting how much inspiration game design based scripts follow a similar format to TV scripts in my experience. Not everything is carried over, and some new things are added in relationship to game design, but interesting to see non the less.
Thank you for producing this informative piece for screenwriters...It's been a while since my last screenplay and can see I need to update and relearn formatting.
Very insightful and especially interesting since you covered some of the roles other filmmakers have in reviewing a screenplay. Thank you kindly for this.
I really wish that this video had been published before I wrote (and subsequently directed) my first film. This is a brilliant video and really helps. Thankfully the software I use now automatically formats the script for the writer, but this would have been a godsend. You're helping many new writer, this is god's work you're doing here! Loved this video.
@Chxrgerifle Trelby. It's free and it works great. Just finished my sequel script in it last night. It give you character reports which are really helpful, and I can check who has the most line, what percentage of the script etc etc. Would recommend it!

Just found this channel. Awesomely encyclopedic. So, what about a video about movie titles? I mean, for everything a title says and does, that often goes unnoticed by fans. And for writers, I'd presume, it's a very technical decision, and then commitment. Of course, any title will give away some info for free. (if "interstellar" means anything, then we can expect there to be something between stars in that movie) And ofc, movies aren't the only things with titles. Software, songs, books, whatever. From what I've seen as a movie fan, A title can set a tone of sudden informality using a character's first name (Tár, Sherlock, Evita); or promise to satirize deep social issues by dogwhistling out a pun (Legally Blonde, There [their] Will Be Blood); hide a twist in plain sight (Murder on the Orient Express); or pledge just what it'll make you feel like an expert in (Interstellar [if "stellar" is a metaphor for interpersonal &/or being between things in life], School of Rock [a master class in collective creativity] It can riff or reference external concepts (There Will Be Blood [thy will be done], The Proposal [Indecent Proposal]) It prepares the audience for the movie's use of color (Moonlight, The Matrix, Pulp Fiction) Its feverish conflicts (Cats, Oppenheimer, Pompeii) Its entire essence really (Cats) Whatever the title, it rallies the project into a rockin' composition. Just a thought. PS, their flow of linguistic stress or rhythm (eg iambic) can sync with the flow of tension through the movie (Shawshank redemption, requiem for a dream) Maybe even conjure music (star wars: attack of the clones--to the star wars theme. Amadeus-to the bright sound of a piano. Whiplash) And its sequence of words can parallel the plotline (everything everywhere all at once, 12 angry men, Pretty Woman) By speaking their names, we let them contort our faces into a nuanced smiles (Joker, Barbie, Pretty Woman), reverent shock (Jaws, Get Out), even awkward discomfort (Silence of the Lambs)
Interesting video, like so many other in your series. A few questions: Is it the same standards for TV as for Movies, and are they the same internationally as well, or is it just Hollywood?

Just found this channel. Awesomely encyclopedic.
So, what about a video about movie titles?
I mean, for everything a title says and does, that often goes unnoticed by fans.
And for writers, I'd presume, it's a very technical decision, and then commitment.
Of course, any title will give away some info for free. (if "interstellar" means anything, then we can expect there to be something between stars in that movie)
And ofc, movies aren't the only things with titles. Software, songs, books, whatever.
From what I've seen as a movie fan,
A title can set a tone of sudden informality using a character's first name (Tár, Sherlock, Evita);
or promise to satirize deep social issues by dogwhistling out a pun (Legally Blonde, There [their] Will Be Blood);
hide a twist in plain sight (Murder on the Orient Express);
or pledge just what it'll make you feel like an expert in (Interstellar [if "stellar" is a metaphor for interpersonal &/or being between things in life], School of Rock [a master class in collective creativity]
It can riff or reference external concepts (There Will Be Blood [thy will be done], The Proposal [Indecent Proposal])
It prepares the audience for the movie's use of color (Moonlight, The Matrix, Pulp Fiction)
Its feverish conflicts (Cats, Oppenheimer, Pompeii)
Its entire essence really (Cats)
Whatever the title, it rallies the project into a rockin' composition.
Just a thought.
PS, their flow of linguistic stress or rhythm (eg iambic) can sync with the flow of tension through the movie (Shawshank redemption, requiem for a dream)
Maybe even conjure music (star wars: attack of the clones--to the star wars theme. Amadeus-to the bright sound of a piano. Whiplash)
And its sequence of words can parallel the plotline (everything everywhere all at once, 12 angry men, Pretty Woman)
By speaking their names, we let them contort our faces into a nuanced smiles (Joker, Barbie, Pretty Woman), reverent shock (Jaws, Get Out), even awkward discomfort (Silence of the Lambs)
Not a bad idea!
Interesting video, like so many other in your series. A few questions: Is it the same standards for TV as for Movies, and are they the same internationally as well, or is it just Hollywood?
Format is the same internationally
The Commanding voice is back...yes! I love!
