| # Screenplay Format Conventions Dataset | |
| Structured reference data describing the conventions used in Fountain and Final Draft (.fdx) screenplay formats. Useful for: | |
| - **NLP/ML tasks** — classifying screenplay elements (scene heading, action, character cue, dialogue, parenthetical, transition) | |
| - **AI pre-production tools** — preprocessing scripts for downstream image generation | |
| - **Education** — teaching screenplay formatting to junior writers | |
| - **Format converters** — building bidirectional Fountain ⇄ FDX tools | |
| ## Files | |
| - `element_types.json` — All screenplay element types with regex patterns and examples | |
| - `scene_heading_grammar.json` — INT/EXT prefixes, location patterns, time of day vocabulary | |
| - `transition_keywords.json` — Standard transition markers (CUT TO, DISSOLVE TO, FADE OUT, etc.) | |
| - `character_cue_rules.json` — Conventions for character names, extensions (V.O., O.S., CONT'D) | |
| - `industry_glossary.json` — Common screenwriting terms and abbreviations | |
