Those should still be given when reading the script upon a character’s entrance.\nART NOTES\nOccasionally I’ll have art (or lettering or coloring) notes that I’ll put here. For example, “please do this all in watercolor, using only your left foot.”\n\u000fPAGE ONE – THREE PANELS\nPANEL ONE\nStart each page with the page number, followed by the number of panels. I underline it to help it stand out. Then I put the panel and number in all-caps. Underneath it (here) is the panel description.\n1. TOM:\tFor dialogue, I indent the character’s name at half an inch, and indent the dialogue itself at two inches. I’ve created a short-cut macro in MS Word for this.\n2. TOM:\tAlso, be sure to number your dialogue, to make things easier on your letterer (re-start the numbering on each new page). Each number indicates a new word balloon, thought balloon, caption, et cetera. Put the number first, to help the letterer and so that everything lines up neatly.\n3. JANE:\tUhm, Tom? Who are you talking to?\nPANEL TWO\nWhen you mention a character for the first time in the panel descriptions, put his/her/their NAME in all-caps. Some people cap the name every time it appears in the panel description. I also sometimes put action words in all-caps. For example, TOM, a small chicken, RUNS across the road, desperate to get to the other side. When deciding what to put in all-caps, I try to do whatever will provide clear and concise communication with my art team and letterer.\nPANEL THREE\nI keep my panel descriptions concise, and do minimal art direction. I try to leave room for collaboration by the artist and specify only what’s vital to the story or character development. Opinions do differ on this, though.\n4. CAP – FLOATING: The night before…[If I want a modern-style, unboxed “location/time” caption, I would label it as shown at left.]\n5. CAPTION:\tBut this is how I handle caption boxes, if it’s just general, boxed narration.\n6. CAP - TOM:\tHowever, if the caption box is a specific person’s thoughts, I’ll do it like this.\nLETTERING NOTE: Once in a while I’ll have a lettering note about one specific line of dialogue. If so, I put it here.\nPAGE TWO – SPLASH PAGE\nPANEL ONE\nIf I have a splash page, I handle it like this. If I have a two-page spread I’ll just hyphenate, PAGES TWO-THREE. Also, some people start a new page (in Word) when they start a new page in the script.\n1. TOM (OP): \tIf a character says something off-panel (on the phone, or as a carry-over from the previous panel) I handle it like this.\n2. TOM:\tIf I want a word to appear in bold-italics in the lettering, then I’ll do the same in the script like so.\n3. TOM:\tAlso, this is just personal opinion, but please don’t overdo the bold words, because it is so darned annoying when books do that. One final note: if a line of dialogue starts in one balloon but ends in another …\n4. TOM:\t… use ellipses to indicate that. Okay, I’m sure there’s more but that’s all I can think of right at—\n5. JANE:\tHey! If someone interrupts, use an em-dash (“—“) as shown in the previous line. That’s all for now. By the way, I’m leaving you, Tom. And I’m about to slam the door—to demonstrate how to do a sound effect. Have fun!\n6.
