I think once you've actually written out some screenplay elements and see how they look on the page? It will come together for you pretty quick.
Once you understand that part and can more or less do it yourself? Try taking some of your own story and doing it yourself... If you need help? Throw it up here somewhere so we can take a look. I'd be more than happy to take some aspect of your story and show you how I'd transcribe it into screenplay/screenplay format right here on the forum.
I think there's quite a few good answers/replies here for you to begin the journey of learning how to take a story and turn it into a screenplay. The big thing here however, is you've told us you basically know nothing about writing or formatting a screenplay so at least in my perspective? You've got to understand how that works FIRST and FOREMOST which is why we threw some examples at you.Well I was simply looking for the best way, just because it is on the internet does not mean it is the correct or best way.
So much for asking simple questions lol - The irony, you ask a simple question from pros and they simply say to use google instead of giving advice from their experience of the best path.
