We see a field, the early morning breeze slightly swaying the long grass in a dancing motion. Birds are flying low over and above the small trees as the sun beats its way in the sky.
We see PEACHES, 16. Walking around frantically in her room, hiding things and re-aranging. We see empty and full beer bottles hiden underneath pillows and underwear drawers.
Julia sets the breakfast table, while her husband DAVID, 49. walks in, dressed for work. He gives her a kiss on the cheek as he grabs his pancake and coffee and leaves.
Screenplays are composed of three types of elements: slugline, action, and dialogue.
Sluglines define the location the scene (i.e. INT. CAFE - NIGHT), actions explain what will happen onscreen, and dialogue is what the characters will say.
The screenwriting flow is simple. To edit an element, click on it. To create a new element, click at the bottom of the screenplay or click into an element and press ENTER.
The default element is an action. You can convert it to a dialogue element by pushing TAB. Push TAB again, and you'll convert the element to a slugline.
When an element is editable, you'll see the background color change to yellow. To save your changes push ENTER, TAB, or click out of the field.
