Script Formatting

		By kyle southam in Writing Published: Monday, 19 February 07 - 11:27 AM (GMT +12:00)

Scripts go through various drafts, first, second, final, shooting, etc.  We have reviewed many scripts by first time and other such authors who in their first draft have "POV", "ANGLE ON---", "THE CAMERA PANS TO:".  These are directorial commands that certainly (in most cases) have no need to be in a first draft.  When writing alongside the director, these certainly have their place as it can help the storyboarder.  Unless you are a 100% sure you are going to be directing the script, leave these out unless asked for.
