1. What do you notice about the formatting of the screenplay? (positioning, capitals, e.t.c.)
It is very clear as to when there is a different location, the directions and the speech of the actors, as there are capitals used for when there is a different location, and there is also capitals for when someone is going to say something. The positioning of the speech is different to the directions as it is centred in the middle of the page, however the stage directions are positioned on the right of the page.
2. What do INT & EXT stand for?
INT - interior
EXT - exterior
3. Why is the location for each shot listed every time the scene changes?
For every different scene there is a different location, however it may not be clear as to when the location / scene changes so it is listed on the script so that it is clear to the audience when they are in a different place.
4. There are some examples of camera shots/camera focus written into the script. Why do you think that these ones are included, but at other times there is no mention of the shot types?
These shots are included because they are different to what the film would usually have for the rest of the script so it signifies the shot change as to when there is a slightly different shot that they need to film / use.
5. Find four examples of shot types/camera focus in the script and explain the desired effect/impact on the audience.
"Point-of-view through a windshield of tailgates ahead, the only pair in sight." - They use a pont-of-view shot to make the audience see the point of view of the people in the police car, so that we get into the character
