Can someone please tell me how I a meant to format my script?

The last marking category talks about scriptwriting conventions. What do I need specifically?

Thankyou forever and ever

Your script should be between 15 to 25 pages long, or 15 minutes running time. It should be double spaced, but I did 1.5 because double looks ridiculous. Should kind of look like this ...

CHARACTER: <------- With a space between the name and dialogue. I just did about 1.5cm tab space between them...

Stage directions should be in italics but CHARACTER names shouldn't be.

I think the Italics worked properly...

Also, your first page should be character list with a brief description, any props/costumes/set design etc... lighting or anything like that...

Hope that helps
