Hi there!
Can someone tell how to format a TVC / radio / social script?
Is the VO / spoken words / dialogues in bold?
Vfx and sfx italics, rest is regular or am I wrong?
Just checking as sometimes I see that not consistent and just want to know what is the right way to format the script.

I’m a video editor and I see a million scripts and there’s no standard way I see it being done. This might seem obvious but just make sure VO lines clearly say VO: in front of the line. And personally I do find it very helpful when they’re in bold!

If it has supers and visual, we make a left column in word noting if they’re supers/ vid on bold and the VO/script on the right column matching the height level of the visuals in the left.

Follow proper screenplay format if you're unsure. (easy to Google). Could ask your CD if there's a format the brand prefers. For the most part though, ad scripts are so short and no one you talk to has film experience that whatever format you use (as long as its legible) is fine

Googled it, it comes up as some weird old screenplay format which is written with a typewriter mainly

yup that's how we've been doing it!

Thank you all!

Saw this from Kevin Mulroy @ Mischief:

Might be helpful - but was pretty clean and simple.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
