Versus a feature script. Just as reading a feature script should be as close as possible to the experience of watching the finished film, a TV pilot should give the reader the same dynamic experience of watching the show.

Sample Screenplay Page Recommended Screenwriting Software for Writing a Screenplay What is a Screenplay? In the most basic terms, a screenplay is a 90-120 page document written in Courier 12pt font on 8 1/2' x 11' bright white three-hole punched paper.

Comedies tend to be on the shorter side (90 pages, or 1 ½ hours) while Dramas run longer (120 pages, or 2 hours). A screenplay can be an original piece, or based on a true story or previously written piece, like a novel, stage play or newspaper article. At its heart, a screenplay is a blueprint for the film it will one day become.

Let's take a look at what a screenplay's structure looks like.
