At the beginning of the text, there is a short direction, to where the first scene is set, and what time of day it is “INT. BOYS BEDROOM – MORNING”, it goes on to describe the bedroom in sort detail, “ On the walls are posters of rappers and basketball players” , setting scene even further. As you can notice with most scripts, the character , and the characters dialogue, are in different fonts, so you can distinguish between the two.
There are ascending numbers at either side of the dialogue “1, 2, 3, 4”, this is to show the readers that every time there is a new number, the camera has moved focus. There is also another feature to this script. There is no distinction between the dialogue and stage directions. But we can still tell these two apart by seeing if there is a character’s name above part of the text, then we know it is speech or not.
