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'.

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.

How long is the writers script?

Usually, a film script is as long as it needs to be to sell the story that the writer wants to tell. Each page of script equals about one minute of screen time. Most full-length features are about 120 minutes; most television scripts are in the 40-50 minute range for an hour's programming. There are short-form films, where a story is told in about 10 minutes.

You are creating a web page you want to ensure users who have older browsers that cannot display javascript can still view your home page how should you proceed?

Just enclose all your scripts in <!-- --> So for example: <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- Your script here --> </script> That way, older browsers will skip the script part, while current browsers will just execute the script without any problem.
