For example, the EDL will change the 8th character of the reel name to the letter B. However, sometimes editors will (confusingly) use the letter B to designate time code breaks on a video tape.

Most modern screenplays, at least in Hollywood and related screen cultures, are written in a style known as the master-scene format [37] [38] or master-scene script. [39] The format is characterized by six elements, presented in the order in which they are most likely to be used in a script:
A PDF file is organized using ASCII characters, except for certain elements that may have binary content. The file starts with a header containing a magic number (as a readable string) and the version of the format, for example %PDF-1.7.
