Thanks teacher
You are so welcome!
I do intend to check out your course, but I have a system that is working quite well. I use Word and, using the specifications from the book The Hollywood Standard, I created a template that, near as I can tell, looks exactly like actual scripts (especially once converted to a PDF) other than using New Courier instead of Courier (I intend to either fix that if I use it for the final product or not worry about it if I port the script elsewhere).
Is there a problem using a problem using a properly formatted Word document?
If you can go through the script and make sure it's not cutting things off at the bottom of the page and no scene headings are dangling on the end of a page it would be fine, but that's SO much work. Doesn't make sense when I can put you on a free program that will remember character names as you type -- that alone is such a time and energy saver.

I used word at the beginning but the industry standard software makes the entire process more efficient
Hi there, I would like to purchase that 'Screenplay Format Zero to Boss'. I'm in Australia and I wonder this price is included the delivery and how long. Please reply? Really like your lecture on screenplay - script ;)
It's all online:) There's nothing to download to your computer -- the software is "in the cloud" and the worksheets are pdf. So easy!
Can I still use Final Draft with the course and workbook?
I have had people familiar with Final Draft take it, but it's really specific to this program so I don't think you would get as much out of it and still have to figure out how to use FD.
Am interested in this how do we start

Great content. I see 5 courses on your website. I have a novel that I want to convert to a screenplay by August 6th. What is the best course that will get me there? Is it the one you are promoting in this video or is there another one better suited for me? BTW, first time writing a screenplay.
What if I already have software? I used Movie Magic Screenwriter years ago and decided to upgrade to the latest version. Can I still do your course?
I been looking into using that Movie Magic. Is that really good?. I been working in Celtx app and Trelby desktop
@@garyleeheard3434 I like it because it was inexpensive to upgrade from my old version. It used to be the industry standard, Final Draft is now but it's expensive
@@gregoryjthomson3862 yeah I know.. stuff isn't cheap.. that's why I use Celtx and Trelby but I'm really trying to do professional stuff with my writing and I just don't how professional Trelby actually is ya know.. so I been looking up Movie Magic and like the lay out of that.. Final draft is okay . Last time used that was FD 9. didn't care to much for that
Gonna wait til I get paid next. I haven't received my fortnightly pay after 3 weeks due to my company getting hacked. It's driving me crazy.
Sorry, but it’s a great idea and I’ve enrolled with another since I didn’t view all of your videos.
OMG!! FINAL DRAFT 10 HAS ISSUES!!!
Today, TWICE, I saved my progress after my writing sessions. At the very least, I saved multiple times during my second session. I had worked for hours in both instances. However, absolutely NOTHING was different when I reopened the document than it was when I started writing.
How is this possible? I've used the software for a couple of months. No problems at all. But now, at page 34 into my script, apparently the document has become "too big" to be able to save the progress.
This is really frustrating! I am not at all motivated to write until I can get assurance that this issue won't take place again in the future. I'm using FD 10, by the way...
Now, let's see how helpful support is at "Final Draft corp." Complaint delivered.
Sorry to hear of your issue. My course does not involve Final Draft:)
@@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144 That's certainly on the table!
The software you're talking about, does it have the same basic functionality as Final Draft, such as writing transitions (e.g. Fade, Cut and so on). Would I be able to transfer my current work to this software, or would it have to be written from start again?
And you are sure that I can save without any trouble? :)
I have no idea what other explanation there could be beyond malfunctioning software, but I do know I've organized a lot of files in multiple levels of subfolders. But hard to understand that a few kbs more on a document would make the "mother folder" too big. And for the particular subfolder where I stored the doc, there were only three docs in total.
I can't guarantee against internet glitches or other technical problems, but you can import your script without retyping and have transitions, fade out, etc.
@@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144 By the way, I have a question related to formatting...
I remember you once criticizing the use of "Fade In" in screenplays. I agree that it is silly to make it a formality, but I also think it could have some advantages.
I am currently working on a drama, and the script opens with a melancholic scene that is supposed to make the audience anticipate an upcoming event. The opening scene takes place a few years after the story begins.
Now, in this instance, I think "Fade In" works well because, at least to me, it provides an image of darkness, in which the movie scene brightens up gradually. So I think it serves a dramatic purpose in this case.
So what are your thoughts? Are you absolutely against using "Fade In", or do you think it could sometimes serve a purpose? Is it a deal-breaker if a script starts with "Fade In"?
Sincerely,
Stian
Fade in is optional. Use it if you want to.

@@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144 Just followed you on twitter
Wouldn't this way my script will be public? Just a query :)
No, your script is not public.
@@worddancer-howtowriteascre9144 thank you for reverting. I m in the middle of crafting/breaking my first story into scenes/shots and your guidelines helping me a lot. I am thinking of going with Black List with this story, and with Jerrol for other stories.
I think I now terribly need someone for taking me to finish line. Can you please help me? My id zeeshanmirza72@gmail.com
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Norma bates from bates motel?
I’ve heard Vera before:)
No, don't teach novice writers to write flashbacks. Just tell them it's illegal and that they will be arrested if they do so. We need to stop this flashback madness!
Send my stuff to you so you can steal it? I don't think so.
In this course you do not send your stuff. You send sample pages that I GIVE YOU. lol.
