The different elements of a Screenplay

The elements in a screenplay are:

•	Scene Heading (slugline)

•	Action (description)

•	Character Name

•

Dialogue

•	Parenthetical (wryly)

•	Shot (secondary heading; sub-scene)

•	Transition

•	Other Formatting Elements

Screenwriter automatically uses the format for a spec screenplay by default. If you have changed your Default.def template or you want to make sure you have loaded the original Spec Script format, click on Format > Load Styles From > Template... and choose Spec Script from the Blank Templates folder.
