Brief Script Writing Research
When the time of writing my script came around, there were still some areas (to script writing) that I was unsure about. This page will show some of the research carried out during the time of writing my script.
​
Script Cover Page
As I began the task of writing my script, I knew there should be a cover or title page for the script, but I didn't actually know what this page required. This wasn't really a problem that stopped me from doing my work, but I still felt that it would be best for me to have it as correct as possible, just to show that what I've written is the script to the game.
​
Because of this, I decided to carry out some quick research online, to try and allow my script to be as accurate (in format) as possible.
​
"All title pages should include following, centered on the page:
-
the title (in uppercase)
-
written by
-
the writer’s name(s)
-
based on (if any)
The date goes in the lower right-hand corner." (Screenwriting.io, 2019)
​
An example that's shown on the website is shown below.
​
From the example and the information shown on the website, I was able to have a better idea of what the cover/title page of a script should look like.
​
"For a spec script, the title page should include contact info for the writer or her representation on the left margin opposite the date. (Name and email address is sufficient.)" (Screenwriting.io, 2019)
​
This was something that I didn't add for my own script, although I feel as though it would be a good idea to add this to my own cover page.
