Review & Description
Hollywood agents producers and studio executives are waiting checkbooks ready for the next great spec script. But the first thing they notice about your script is the format - does this look like a polished professional screenplay? Should I read it? Or toss it? Hollywood Screenwriter has the answer - writing a perfectly-formatted spec script is a cinch with this easy-to-use program!System Requirements:IBM PC or compatible machine 486 DX or better CPU required Windows 3.1 or better 4 MB of available RAM 3 MB of available hard disk space 2x CD-ROM driveFormat: WIN 9598NTXP Genre: PRODUCTIVITY Rating: UPC: 705868080255 Manufacturer No: 908035Show business loves its archetypes. One chestnut that won't go away is the image of the feverish screenwriter, hunched over a word processor, ideas flying so thick and fast that the chore of punctuation would invite creative disaster. Hollywood Screenwriter is a script-writing program that promises to simplify the mundane stuff--like proper script formatting--so creative juices can flow freely.
The only keys a writer needs to move between script elements in this program are TAB, ENTER, and (. Since scripts have a logic and order that's fairly standardized, the program can intuit what's next, placing time of day after scene headings or formatting for dialogue or a parenthetical after a character's name. This is a less-complicated program than some of the more expensive screenwriting programs out there, but it doesn't do as much as those other offerings either.
Hollywood Screenwriter is designed for writing spec scripts: speculative screenplays designed to get the attention of stage or screen producers. This program will help you format your script correctly, ensuring that it won't get tossed out based on appearance. But if someone decides to produce your masterpiece, you won't be able to make a production script with this program. Then again, if that happens, you might feel flush enough to go buy one of those spendy programs that does A and B pages.
No other place clings to dated stereotypes of how things are done quite like Hollywood does. Included in Hollywood Screenwriter's instruction manual are painstakingly detailed instructions on how to assemble a script correctly. Which begs the question: Are there really people out there who would reject a possible Oscar winner because it's not punched by a three-hole press and bound by two solid-brass Acco No. 5 brads? --Anne EricksonPut the final touch on your inspiration with this formatting program. It includes templates for over 40 television shows. Choose from Screenplay, Drama, Sitcom, or Stage Play formatting. Time- and energy-saving pop-up menus provide shortcuts that let you maintain your creative flow. End up with a finished product that looks and reads like the real thing. Read more
