Can Screenwriter Mimic and 'Interview' Format?
Posted: Feb 08, 2012 6:50 pm
Hi,
I'm wondering if Screenwriter can be formatted to mimic standard 'interview' format, in which the left-hand column/margin of the page contains the names of the people being interviewed, and the majority of the right-hand side of the page contains the dialogue that each interviewee says.
In other words, it would be like having a narrow left-hand column for the names, and a much wider right-hand column for the dialogue (sometimes, the form that this takes is a 'Q & A' format.
here's an example of what I'm talking about:
John: my name is John, and I play rhythm guitar.
Paul: my name is Paul, and I play the bass.
Ringo: my name is Ringo, and I play the drums.
George: my name is George, and I play lead guitar.
I have tried to set the elements in The Movie Magic Screenwriter 6 to mimic this kind of interview format, but I always run into the problem of the 'dialogue' portion starting on the line after the character name.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Many thanks,
drutgat.
