Margaret Doner: Author and screenwriter.

Sights and Sound

Hi All, do you think we should capitalize sights and sound in a script that's being submitted into competitions? Someone once said to me that it can be distracting. Thx!

Margaret Doner

I was told a number of years ago to capitalize AUDIO but just recently I was told that you no longer do that as it is distracting. So I stopped doing it, and I think it does read much more smoothly. I will say that keeping up with do's and dont's like that can be difficult at times.

Yes, Christopher Phillips/@DanMaxx, Shane Black's THE LAST BOY SCOUT was an excellent read.

Dan MaxXx You're right. Just looked at an old article and he beat on the typewriter with two index fingers to get his screenplays out.
