Another member wants me to write a screenplay for her youtube channel. The problem is the formating. This is how she wants it formated :
-
what you hear in our videos is exactly the script how to write it down, first person narration of the MC and dialogues in direct speech
you need to use color codes for the dialogues, which mean you choose for each character a color and write the direct speeches in their colors, a small index at the beginning of the script explains which color is who
no need for writing ‘he said’ or ‘she answered and left’
no internal thoughts or monologues, show us how the MC feels by actions and dialogues
no descriptions of things that can be shown easily, since it is going to be animated

Anybody who is familiar with this kind of formating? Because I have never seen any screenplay written like this.
The member who asked for this has a profile as screenwriter. So a wrote a first person narration. I mean, I thought she would like to change the details herself so part of it became a dialogue.
I asked her to send me a copy of some story she has earlier purchased from some other writer, so I can read how she wants me to format. But I received none.
And if she doesn't buy from me? I think I will soon have a good reason to contact 102 theatres, so I can ask them to use my story.
Sorry for a misunderstandment. I have no formal agreement. I wrote a story and sent it. She appears to like it, but doesn't explain how to format it in the way she wants.
