Sluglines
These are pieces of text that are written at the start of a new scene to say where the scene is set and whether it is interior or exterior.
Sluglines are made of of these three elements:
- INT/EXT
- Location
- Time
Sluglines are always written in all capitals, there is a specific way in which the slugline should be set out. There has to be two spaces between INT/EXT and the location, then also there should be two spaces, hyphen and then another space between the location and time.
Action
The action comes below the slugline and describes the action that happens in the scene.
Character Name
The characters name always appears central above their dialogue. The character name should always been in capital letters.
