Why is this structure so well-known/used?

• It can be understood by everyone because they are used to it.
• So that the script can be broken down for:

I.O.U

Rachel Wallis


Every page has the title at the top of the page. i.e "I.O.U"

Starts with: FADE IN:

The slug line/scene heading is written in one way only: Capitalized font, INT./EXT., where is the scene? (CHANGING ROOM), time? (DAY/NIGHT)

For Example: INT. CHANGING ROOM - DAY


The action paragraph:

Character Name (i.e GIRL #1 or GIRL #2 etc.)

CHARACTER NAME - DIALOGUE - ACTION
