PLEASE NOTE: These scripts will be available in various formats. The screenplay format you might use for a spec screenplay will not be the same format as a shooting script or a script written to specific demands. Your spec screenplay would not contain a lot of "directing on paper" where a shooting script might include elements specifically required by a director. Just because you might see a lot of camera direction or extra description or explanation in a sold and produced script does not mean it is appropriate for a spec screenplay.
