How to bind script correctly for European production houses

[SedativeGod]

I know that if you want to send script to American production houses, it must printed on letter sized paper and it should have three holes and only two brass-plated fasteners. In europe, the screenplay must be printed on A4 paper, but should I punch 2, 3 or 4 holes and where should I place the fasteners?

Why not do the same way as US?

 

[SedativeGod]

Because there's a different standard in Europe

We don't have 3 ring hole-punches here (2 or 4) - 2 is fine.

 

[SedativeGod]

Thank you. So, two holes ( one on the top and one on the bottom on the left corner of a page)? Sorry for being so complicated

 

[Jamster]

No.

If you do that the middle will bulge out!

If two then it'll be in the centre of the page.

Something I've never known is why does the script have to be printed on a certain type of paper stock. Why can't it be printed on normal,everyday,run of the mill printing paper?

What type of paper stock should I use? I always thought that you can use normal a4 size paper for printing :S

 

[Jamster]

Again regular 80gm white paper won't get you strung up - all the best, Jim.

thank you Jim

A script can be printed on normal, everyday, run of the mill printing
paper. Where did you get the impression a certain type of stock is
required?

Last time I sent a script to an agent (it was a while ago) they wanted it on some stock that was no nomral printing paper. Guess it was just them.
