In a screenplay, the action/description sets the scene, describes the setting, introduces characters, and set the stage for your story.
Example: excerpt from the unproduced draft of Seven (1992)
Format: -Action appears after the scene heading. It is left aligned, single spaced, and mixed case. -It is written in present tense, active voice, and in as few words as possible. -Action should be no longer than 4-5 lines at a time. -When introducing a speaking character for the first time, put the name in all caps. -Capitalize specific sounds in the action. (Radio, door slam, shouting, etc.)
Content: -The action describes what can be seen on screen. Do not describe thoughts or what happened off screen unless it can be shown. (For example:You can’t say a character arrives home after a lunch out with friends. You need to show it via visuals, action, or dialogue. The character could be holding leftover food from a restaurant or tell another character about the lunch.) -You can use the action to describe a new setting or character. -Describe what is important in a scene, nothing more. Call attention to important details that give the setting or characters personality. For example:
“THOMAS (34), stands in the middle of the pristine, unfurnished foyer in muddy jeans and a tattered shirt.”
“Gabby (8) sinks into her seat in the back of the classroom. All eyes are on her bright purple Mohawk.”
-You can get fancy by having the action transition to another scene. You could say, for example:
“Suddenly, Maya bolts from behind her desk and runs out into:
INT. DRISKILL HOTEL HALLWAY - DAY”
-Avoid putting dialogue in the action. You can put generalizations about crowds (such as “Rosa pushes her way past a jeering crowd”) but specific dialogue should not be in the action. -Do NOT write camera angles or shots unless absolutely necessary! It’s the directors’ and cinematographers’ jobs to visually interpret the script.
*Note: There are definitely screenwriters (especially famous ones) out there that break these content “rules.” But they can afford to break the rules. When starting out, you should follow the rules until you can prove to people you know your stuff.
🏳️🌈okay as part of my pride month celebrations i’ve put together a list of ~most~ of the primarily lgbt+ films/television i’ve seen (as i’m pretty sure i’ll have missed a couple).
please bear in mind that these are purely my opinions and i am renowned for having terrible opinions. (also, many of these films i saw a little while ago and may have changed my mind about!) don’t let anything in this list dissuade you if these are some of your favourite films! you are more than entitled to your own views on these films, and it’s super important to recognise that ALL of them have had an important impact on lgbt+ cinema over the last century.
i just made this list for anyone who wants some good lgbt+ film recommendations and doesn’t have time/energy/lack of social life enough to watch all of them :) i mean no offence by any of this!!
feel free to send me more to add!! 🏳️🌈
for reference: (gd) stands for ‘gay death’, just a visual reminder of the ‘killing the gays trope’ in film and tv
