Screenwriting: Page Numbering a Screenplay

There are only a few simple rules to remember when numbering a screenplay page:

Rule #1: The Title page has no page number.

Rule #2: The first page of your screenplay has no page number. This is the "FADE IN:" page that begins the first scene.

Rule #3: The second page and every page thereafter has a page number. Since you begin numbering on the second page, you start with the numeral "2."
