I'm curious, if the author shows, why he is caps-crazy when truly not needed.
Have you ever read the Edge of Tommorow script? That too is riddled with caps, but it's mainly done that way so the action jumps off the page.
With regards to this script tho, basic description is in capitals. I skimmed over this script a while ago, but my interest was lost a little because I thought it was based on the video-game.
Online specifically, caps suggests yelling. I think old school script rules are to all cap important sounds so that the team can easily see their calling. Ofcourse first character intros and location changes are important as well. I didn't read the original Edge script, (live die, repeat was it?)
My guess is the parts in upper case are added because that's what the writer sees in other scripts (produced scripts). They use this as a guideline for their own works. The problem is, those scripts are shooting scripts and not spec scripts.
As I read through the first page though, those caps are not correct for even a shooting script so I'm curious as to why everything is in caps? It makes it very difficult to read, I've already disconnect before finishing the first page.
