In script format, which aspect is typically written in paragraph form without any indent?

In script format, action is typically written in paragraph form without any indent. This section of a script describes what is happening in the scene, including the movements of characters, the setting, and any important visual elements that the audience needs to understand the context of the story. The lack of indentation distinguishes action descriptions from other elements of the script, such as dialogue and scene headings, which have specific formatting rules. While dialogue is centered and often has character names above it, and scene headings are formatted with capital letters and indicate a new scene, the action section serves as a narrative cue for the visual storytelling, allowing the reader to visualise the scene without interruption.

Character introductions typically follow specific formatting guidelines as well, often highlighting the first appearance of a character with their name in all caps, which further differentiates them from action descriptions.
