You're probably referring to a shooting script -- a special condition of a script -- where the page is final: no more edits or rewrites.

The term may be based on what happens with a camera once it is set up the way it will be used to shoot the scene: the camera is 'locked down'.

How do you turn off caps lock?

I dont know its a mystery!You can just click the little caps lock button you used to turn it ON, unless your computer is stuck, then you press Control, Alt, and Delete ALL AT THE SAME TIME as many times until your computer is no longer stuck; then you will press Control, Alt, F4, Tab, Shift, Space, and Page Down ALL AT THE SAME TIME.Your keyboard probably has a Caps lock button somewhere on the left of it (or on the right if your computer is not a popular model; some computers don't have an option to turn off Caps Lock, so don't be freaked out if you can't find it, your computer is just wierd, and its probably right next to your pinkie finger right now). Just press it and caps lock turns off.Just simply press the button in the keyboard that says....CAPS lOCK... that's all!There is an OBVIOUSLY LARGE key on the left hand side of the keyboard labelled Caps Lock!!! IT IS SO OBVIOUS!!!Control, alt, f4, tab, shift, space, page down - all at the same timeHope i helpedPRESS THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON... its that easyIf you want to be boring, you can just press the Caps Lock key to the left of the "A" key, but if you want to be ORIGINAL and COOL, you press: Control, alt, f4, tab, shift, space, page down: ALL AT THE SAME TIME


How long is the average movie script?

Your answer depends on the genre. One page of a properly formatted screenplay script equals one minute of film time. Films generally run from 90 to 120 minutes. Some genres require fewer pages -- i.e., action films require fewer pages, and sagas require more pages. Aim for 90 pages, don't go over 120 pages, and you'll be within the normal range for an industry-acceptable length.
