Well, if you\'re writing it for yourself and your friends to use, then you don\'t really have to worry as much about formatting it correctly than you would if you were writing it for someone else. Still, you want to format it as well as you can. For that, just use other screenplays as reference. That is probably the most helpful thing for a beginner--reading other scripts. I keep one on my desk for reference at all times.
Other than that, make everything as clear as possible in the script. Props, locations, etc.
If you have background in other writing, you should have no problems. Personally, screenplays are the easiest thing for me to write.
