A screenplay or script is a written work for a film or television program. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. Film screenplays are usually 90-120 pages long and each page is approximately equivalent to one minute screen time.

Motion picture screenplays intended for submission to mainstream studios, whether in the US or elsewhere in the world, are expected to conform to a standard typographical style known widely as studio format which stipulates how elements of the screenplay such as scene headings, action, transitions, dialog, character names, shots and parenthetical matter should be presented on the page, as well as the font size and line spacing.
