Format is a courtesy to the reader
Industry-standard screenplay format exists so a reader can picture pacing, tone, and screen time at a glance — one page reads as roughly one minute. Every rule in this quiz is really the same rule in disguise: don't make the reader stop and untangle what they're looking at.

SceneCraft formats every scene to industry standard automatically as you write.
