TV shows that you enjoy most and try to write a script in a similar style.

“How does this scene move the story forward?”

Ask yourself the importance of each scene you want to include. As you go through your outline ask yourself questions,
such as, “What is the main point of this scene?” or, “How does this scene move the story forward?”
Go through each of the scenes to see if they add to the story or if they're only there to fill out space.
If the scene doesn't have a point or move the story, you can probably remove it.

Set your font

Screenplays are written in Courier 12 point font. This is mainly because of timing.
One script page in Courier 12 is roughly one minute of screen time.
