![]() ![]() ![]() The Beat Board is designed to be a flexible brainstorming space where you can create moveable cards to store notes about the different story elements. We opened Final Draft with a kernel of an idea for our screenplay, but it definitely needed development, so we navigated to the Beat Board, a brand new feature in Final Draft 10. Final Draft 10 even includes studio-specific templates if you know you need to follow a particular studio’s standard. We kept our document in the default screenplay template, but there are dozens of templates available, including ones for graphic novels, manuscripts and query letters in addition to a selection of scripts for film, stage and TV. The Story Map bar at the top of your page is set to a 120-page target by default, but since we wanted to write a script for a five minute short film, we adjusted that target down to five pages. There are plenty of options for customizing the workspace as needed. When you open up Final Draft 10, you’re greeted with the main program window with a toolbar at the top and two sub-windows: the main story editor where you’ll add your text and the Navigator window where you can jump between scenes, find and add script notes and keep track of characters. In addition to formatting, Final Draft also offers robust organizational tools, script breakdowns and production reports to help with pre-production tasks beyond the actual writing of the script. ![]()
