If you need to have text on screen, ie: 'Battle of Hastings - 1066AD'; how is this correctly formatted?

[writerscut]

There are many ways to do it...you might want to check out other scripts to see how it can be done. Two popular ways are...

SUBTITLE :Battle of Hastings - 1066AD

SUPER :Battle of Hastings - 1066AD

[Hamboogul]

writerscut's way is good.

I've also seen:

INSERT: Battles of Hastings - 1066AD

and

"BATTLE OF HASTINGS - 1066AD"

[dpaterso]

Trivial little thought, if readers have to be told the Battle of Hastings happened in 1066 then maybe they might also need to know where Hastings is, e.g.

SUPER: "Battle of Hastings, England, 1066 A.D."

You'd missed your period (in the grammatical sense, not the menstrual sense) -- inserted just for fun's sake.

I agree with Derek.
SUPER is the best way.
SUBTITLE is usualy reserved for dialog.
