Only My Scriptwriting

Right But Wrong

center}Right But Wrong{/center}


I was right about updating my Water Wars scriptwriting project because of the new Industry Standard for the fifty-five line per page rule, but I was wrong about the formatting I needed to update. I was right about my formatting, after all. I just thought I was different because of the left margin being one and a half inches long.

It still is one and a half inches long for the left margin and one inch for the other three sides. At least, it is for my scripts. It’s still one inch on all four sides for my Outlines. The Story Outlines are that way because the Story Outlines are a cross between a short story and a transcript. My Scene Outlines are because of my numbering.

I number my Scene Outlines for my movies as well as my Parts and Episodes. That’s why my margin is also one inch on the left side of a typed page. That’s because my scene numbers are at the one-inch margin, but my Scene Headings and paragraphs start at the one-and-a-half-inch spot. Those extra five spaces are the same for the scripts.

It took me almost my whole eight-hour shift to finish updating my Water Wars scriptwriting project for my Outlines and, eventually, my scripts. Most of my shift was devoted to the new fifty-five line per page rule. I thought I had that figured out with my DeathBringers scriptwriting project, but I didn’t.

I keep getting fifty-four lines no matter what I try to do with my formatting and Style Guides. I even got a fifty-three and fifty-six every so often, but I couldn’t get a fifty-five. I didn’t think I would do it, but I finally did. Unfortunately, it took me about six hours to accomplish this, but I did finally do it.

The last couple of hours of my shift late yesterday evening and overnight this morning I spent on updating the Part One Movie Introduction Scene Outline for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. It took me almost all of those two hours because I was further along than I thought I was with this project. I’m almost finished with Part One.

It may have taken me my whole to finish properly formatting and updating my Water Wars scriptwriting project, but it sure does look like I have done it. I’m ready to continue to work on it this evening and overnight tomorrow morning. Now that I’m updated and the formatting is correct, I hope that I can get a lot written in the next twelve hours.
