Screenplays: Layout Conventions
1. A spec script, short for speculative screenplay, is a non-commissioned and a unsought after or wanted script. Usually written by a screenwriter who wants the story to be optioned and hopefully produced and created by a company or producer.

2. Shooting Script is a script a director or cinematographer uses on the set of a motion picture or TV production. They are usually modified or overwritten by a director and follow a specific amount of procedures to help to organise a production, script revisions and how they should be moved around continuously.

4. The font style that is always used on scripts is Courier 12, this is because courier is the original font made by a typewriter, the industries standard, when screenplays were first created. A more technical explanation is that the font is equally spaced, monospaced which means it has a fixed-width, (5.) so each page on a script equals to 1 minute screen time so it translates well on screen.
