2-Column Script Format

What are 3 key things that this article says are important about formatting an AV script?

    Three key things that this article says are important about formatting an AV script are the font, the columns, and the spacing. The font needs to be Courier New size 12, which is the professional standard and looks how traditional typewriters typed. This is important because Courier New sans serifs and is a fixed-width font—meaning that every character is the same width. This makes the font much easier to read and because one page with this font is usually about a minute of screen time. Furthermore, you must capitalize every word that isn't spoken on the script such as the video directions and character names. Regarding the columns, the left side is dedicated to the video descriptions and the right side is for the audio. The video side is in all caps and includes the slug lines, stage directions and camera directions. The left side includes all audio such as music, SFX, and dialogue. This is important because following this covers your bases and makes it easier for other people to read your script. The spacing is important because often time people write notes on scripts and space is needed to do so. The margins should be one inch on the edges of the page and the script should be double spaced.
