margins for screenwriting

 

 

Your question about the margins for screenwriting can easily be solved by purchasing a screenwriting program that will automatically format your script.

 

Approximately 1" margins on the top, left, right, and bottom of the page.

 

Any lengthy action descriptions or long dialogue (rare in scripts these days) are not right justified.

 

On the first page, the title is at the top, centered, about half an inch from the edge of the page.  The dialogue is at the middle and about 2 1/2" from left and right margins.  The character's name in all caps, is centered, at the line above the dialogue text.

 

The action descriptions are about 1" from left and right margins.

 

Look at actual scripts for more information on margins.
