Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- Final Draft software
-
Step 1
Begin your new script on a blank page by typing in "FADE IN," which is automatically capitalized
-
Step 2
You are now taken to a "SCENE HEADING" (in ALL CAPS) and given a choice between "INT." and "EXT." Or, you can enter something else, like "OPEN ON BLACK" or anything.
-
Step 3
After "INT." type in the location, say a "HOUSE." Then, if you type "D" the word "DAY" pops up; "N" gives you "NIGHT." Again these are common choices but you can enter "MORNING" or "AFTERNOON" as you like.
-
Step 4
Hit the
key. This takes you to the "ACTION" line. Where you can enter text in upper and lowercase as with a standard word processor. Final Draft has a spell checker to catch misspellings, and if it’s a word you want to use throughout the script you can add it to the dictionary.
