Your First Script

Learn how to write your first screenplay using Jujukraft’s intuitive interface.

Understanding Screenplay Format

A screenplay follows industry-standard formatting:

• Scene Headings - Location and time (e.g., “INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY”)
• Action - Description of what happens
• Character Names - Who is speaking
• Dialogue - What characters say
• Parentheticals - How characters say it

Step 1: Start Writing

1. Open your project in Jujukraft
2. Click the Script tab
3. Begin typing your scene

The editor automatically detects screenplay elements as you type.

Step 2: Scene Structure

Every scene needs:

INT. LOCATION - TIME

Action description here. Show what's happening.

CHARACTER NAME
(direction)
Dialogue goes here.

ANOTHER CHARACTER
More dialogue here.

Step 3: Use Auto-Formatting

Jujukraft automatically formats:

• Scene headings when you type “INT.” or “EXT.”
• Character names in ALL CAPS
• Dialogue indentation
• Action descriptions

Step 4: Element Detection

The editor recognizes:

• Scenes - Location and time indicators
• Characters - Names in dialogue
• Transitions - Scene changes
• Parentheticals - Character directions

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Don’t use camera directions
• Avoid excessive parentheticals
• Keep action descriptions concise
• Use present tense only
