 Film script
A film script is like a play script but should be:
 written in 12pt courier, names are in capitals; scene headings, slug line
Slug line has 3 parts: setting, interior (INT) or exterior (EXT) location, time of day (morning, dusk etc)
Film scripts don't tell emotion of character - focus is on what can be seen.
 Some, other
This type of sentence makes comparisons, two clauses separated by a semi colon.



I’m just doing a small part of the story today:

EXT. A FOREST – DAY
TITLE: THE CLEVER LITTLE TAILOR
FADE FROM BLACK
We see the little tailor wearing a girdle with the words ‘Seven in one blow’ embroidered on it; and the giant standing in the forest. A huge oak tree is lying on the ground near them.

                          GIANT
      Now we will see if you are able to carry anything properly.
             (He takes the little tailor to the mighty oak tree)
If you are strong enough, help me to carry the tree out of the forest.
                          THE TAILOR
             (With gusto)
      Readily!
             (Now commanding.)
Take you the trunk on your shoulders, and I will raise up the branches and twigs; after all, they are the heaviest.

The gianttakes the trunk on his shoulder, the tailorseats himself on a branch. The GIANT cannot look round and carries the whole tree and the LITTLE TAILOR into the bargain: THE LITTLE TAILOR is clearly merry and happy.
                          THE LITTLE TAILOR
             (Whistling the tune: ’Three tailors rode forth from the gate,’)
      The giant, is visibly exhausted from dragging the heavy tree, stops.
                          GIANT
Hark you, I shall have to let the tree fall!’

The tailor springs nimbly down and seizes the tree with both arms as if he had been carrying it.
                          THE LITTLE TAILOR
             (Mocking)
Some think you are a great fellow, others will now know you cannot even carry a tree!

THE LITTLE TAILOR and the GIANT continue through the forest.

FADE TO BLACK
