The title can be printed manually along the 'spine' and bottom of the script pages to help
reviewers find them in a pile, or on a shelf. Use ALL CAPITAL letters.
This might also grab a bit more of their memory each time they see your script.
To mark your script properly . . before placing the cover sheets or brads . .
- Place the script face down on a desk-like surface, the bottom of the script to your left, and
the top to your right.
- With both hands on the 'spine' (or left edge of the script), curl the pages back up toward
you until they are spread out (making a nice writing surface).
- Grab your black magic marker.
- Space out the imaginary letters first, then print the title (or key words in it if that's all
that fits) with your marker.
- Do the same along the bottom edge of the script (not the right edge, as that might irritate
the
eyes of the reader).
|
When the pages are returned to their normal position, the title appears quite legibly and the
brads can then be inserted.
|
CAUTION: Hollywood insiders suggest that they be allowed to mark titles in this manner,
recommending the writer NOT do it himself. So, this might be best saved for contest
submissions.
