Narrative | Writing

Screenplays are scripts of the actors lines. They are divided into scenes. 

The actor's line goes under their name. The actor's line does not need speech marks. 

People sometimes add a little pointer on how the line should be said. The pointer about the line is just under the actor's name, and to the right a little bit. 

A screenplay has the scene headline in all capitals. The actor's name is centre aligned and is also in all capitals. 

Understanding how to write a screenplay is important because actors would know what their lines are.
