ScreenStyle.com, creators of the award-winning ScreenStyle screenwriting software, proudly introduces SitcomStyle - the industry's FIRST software program that uses the power of Microsoft Word for Windows and Macintosh to help you write an award-winning sitcom or teleplay.
If you've been writing screenplays for film, you probably think you can already write for a TV show. True - BUT the format you've learned for film is not the same for TV.
A TV sitcom script is primarly a taped format. Films are usually filmed on location but sitcoms are usually taped in a studio. (Announcer:Taped before a live studio audience.) Taped sitcoms are often referred to as "3-camera" shows because of the use of 3 and often more cameras during the taping. Do not confuse shows like The X-Files with a taped sitcom. This show is shot on location and not in a studio.
SitcomStyle comes complete with an on-line manual that explains how to correctly format your script for TV.
To use SitcomStyle, you must have Microsoft Word for Windows or Macintosh. We've developed SitcomStyle for all versions of Word and Mac, even Word 6.0 with Windows 3.1. Whether you order Windows or Mac, you'll receive all versions of SitcomStyle for your operating system. Sometimes writers have different versions of Word at home than at the office. We've solved that problem for you.
ScreenStyle.com is proud to sponsor Scriptapalooza TV, the industry's first TV sitcom contest for all you would-be studio writers. Go to Scriptapalooza TV to find out how to enter.
