- For actions/movements/gestures, thoughts, if there needs to be a voice-over, positions/running orders need to be bold and have * at the beginning and end of the sentence. Must have proper capitalization and no punctuation, unless it continues/needs to be in a proper sentence;
Eg/ *The zombie ate her brains*
*The zombie ate her brains. He wiped his mouth on his sleeve, grunted, and went after the boy*
^You can do that ( *Sentence(s)* *Sentence(s)* ) if you want to start a new "thing" from above^.
- When the person talks or does something from above^, make their name bold, have proper capitalization and a colon;
Eg/ Violette:
- When a person talks, leave the font normal, try your best to have proper capitalization, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Don't put " in the front or back of the dialog (speech). Feel free to put question marks (?), exclamation points (!), quotation marks("), ellipsis marks (...), hyphens(-), and dashes (/) where needed, if needed.
Eg/ We have to get out of here!
If I seem like I'm too "high-maintenance" or asking too much of you, just do your best! I'm not trying to be bossy or "high-maintenance", it's just if you follow these guidelines, it'll be easier when I revise and edit the scripts for posting and rehearsals! Please and thank you! :D -Chiara
- At the beginning of a scene, please include the following:
Location; Eg/ Location: Science class (Hallway or a teacher's classroom) --> Include in brackets (where we are planning on shooting this scene. NO SPECIFIC PLACES PLEASE! (Personal safety for people).

Scene; Eg/ Scene: Malia and Shenis (Desiray and Violette) are in an unsupervised classroom (the teacher went out to get something), so they decide to have some fun with science.
To clear things up, this is what she (Chiara) meant.
