Lots of people use dedicated software - like Final Draft - for scriptwriting, but you can do it with Microsoft Word. Jeffrey Scott at Animation World Network explains how to set up Microsoft Styles to do it.
If you follow the instructions below you will effectively turn Microsoft Word into a simple but powerful screenwriting program. As I noted in an earlier post, I have used Word with styles to write hundreds of scripts and actually find it easier than the top screenwriting software.AWN: How to Turn Microsoft Word into a Terrific Screenwriting Program
Eye Movement
The DIEM Project (Dynamic Images and Eye Movement) is an investigation into how people look and see. They have posted a clip from There Will Be Blood, presented as only the locations fixated by 11 viewers. Their gaze was recorded using an Eyelink 1000 and visualized as a "peekthrough" heatmap using CARPE. I don't know what it all means, either. Interesting effect...
