These guidelines are currently under discussion and may be edited soon. Please see the discussion thread to find out how.What can I do on Screen Genius?Anything screen related can be put on Genius! That mostly includes TV & movie scripts and YouTube videos, but we also have tons of other unique pages, like lists of character deaths in shows. Transcription GuidelinesThe transcription process can look wildly different depending on what kind of page you're making, but it's important to keep the following things in mind when transcribing a typical TV or movie script: • Find it online if you can • Format it correctly • Add the metadata • Avoid making shell pages Annotation GuidelinesScreen Genius can be very different from other sections of the site in many ways, but a good annotation is a good annotation. Here are some tips and tricks to making interesting and valuable annotations: • Check the Genius FAQ • What to include • What to avoid • Spoiler policy • Examples ConclusionThe goal of Screen Genius is two-fold. The first goal is to give audio-visual media the level of analytical attention they deserve. Genius is a knowledge hub, and the worlds of cinema, television, and video are full of deep and rich meaning hiding just below the surface. The second goal is to make Screen Genius a fun part of the site to visit. Screen Genius should feel like a community worth being a part of. To that end, in addition to annotated pages, be sure to check out the forums, where the discussions go down. If you have any additional questions, be sure to message Alekazam.
