Explain the conventions to be used in the formatting and layout of the extract (M1)

All aspects of this script extract are in line with genre and industry conventions. The layout of the script itself is in line with what is generally accepted as the optimal and generally best way for such a screenplay to be formatted, with each part in its own place on the page for ease of comprehension and timing calculations.

There were a number of minor issues with my initial draft, which I have resolved in my final one. These largely consisted of capitalisation errors, with sluglines and names not being fully capitalised. There were also a small number of incidents of action text being on the same line as a proceeding slugline.

Section 2: While Jeeves deals with tax paperwork, lightning strikes and the small fire starts. Jeeves goes to check on it and ends up in the forbidden area. He sees the first of Lukyan's crimes before he is caught and locked away. Horror Genre Elements in My Concept: This film will utilise a number of classic horror conventions present throughout its subgenres if not the genre as a whole. For example, the building of tension will be heavily used throughout as many scenes will involve Jeeves attempting to remain undetected when Lukyan is nearby. Jumpscares and other such shock methods will also be featured on a number of occasions throughout. The violent nature of the crimes committed by Lukyan are also very much in line with horror conventions, as are the use of close-up and extreme close-u...
