I’d probly never get anything done if I had to format it myself. I’ve
got a hard enough time trying to stay focused and keep thoughts
flowing without contstantly stopping to adjust the margins.

If you’re directing it, put anything you want.
If you’re planning on selling it…don’t even think about suggesting music or actors. Try and not put in too many parantheticals. Make sure you don’t write too much internal thoughts of any characters. Don’t even mention the camera and what it does.

Yeah, that’s what all the books and internet articles on spec writing say to do,
but if you go to a site like script-swap.com or triggerstreet.com and read a few
of the scripts they got on there. You can pin point the ones that took all those
books and articles too seriously because they all feel like they were written by
robots.
The trick is to find the right balance. You want to put your own stamp on the film
without stepping on anybody’s toes.
