Questions About Script Formatting and Structure

Hi Naomi!

Attached is a pdf of sequence 1.

If the inciting incident is the bailiff's visit (which spans several pages), is it on page 14 ( when they show up), or page 16 (when they mention closing them down), or page 19 (when they say they'll be back next week and the scene ends)?

Also, and this isn't key to know now, it could wait. But when do you use '(beat) in the dialogue and when do you use it as an action line?

And! When do you stop using CAPS for character's names? It's not for the whole script, is it?

And!! What's the difference between 'Title card', 'Caption', 'Super' and 'Chyron'???

Thanks,

Rob
