I'm assuming this is a first ever script? Your formatting needs ALOTof work.

1. You need a seperate title page.
2. You need shorter slugs.
3. Your characters need to be capped followed by a brief description.
4. Do not use Acts in a screenplay - thats for staged plays.
5. Your dialouge show be cetred and tabbed corrrectly.
6, You don't need continued at the bottom of ever page.
7. Include page numbers at the top righthand corner.
8. Don't use personal direction.
9. You could easily slice this in half.
10. I suggest you read over a few pro scripts and get your hands on some screen writing books.

hi Vicky - i though this was ok, but it was just so hard to read. Check out the movie scripts on this website, they'll show you how to format your scripts in the right way.

stageplays and screenplays are very different.
