I don't know about screen/scriptwriting, but a search came up with a few topics that might be useful to read

Hi there
I'm no expert but am doing a module on radio scripts at the moment for my writing course. For script layout, you may find it useful to look at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/insight/scriptsmart_formats.shtml

You can download Scriptsmart on the site as well, which is formatted for writing scripts and also read scripts from plays and dramas to get a feel for how it's done.
The main difference between a short story and a radio play, though, is that pretty much everything has to be conveyed via dialogue and to some extent, sound effects.
If it's a script for the stage or TV, then you can, of course, convey things through actions as well.
I've found the BBC site really helpful and have read some great plays as a result.
Good luck
I hope this helps

I've only got four month to recover from nanowrimo and get ready for script frenzy. I can do this.

Simply the best book I have read on screenwriting. Buy it now!

It's on my wish list at Amazon. Unless someone buys it for me, it'll have to wait until next pay day. Thank you for the tip, Daryl.    Looks like a good book.

I would say writing unique content is always difficult for many students who want to prepare for the examination. Students need to take help from the paper help reviews that provide the best quality of writing help to many students who want to do unique and attractive writing projects.
