So. Just a little run-down of what the speech bubbles mean. I'll update this as I discover new speech bubbles ;

So, here goes:


Thought Bubbles: are circular speech bubbles without talking marks, with smaller circles attached to it that lead to a person, are actually THOUGHT bubbles. The circles indicate which person is thinking what. When the person is off-camera, the only different in the thought bubble is that there will be no little bubbles to indicate where that person is. The font is always Comic Sans MS.

Speech bubbles: Speech bubbles are always square/rectangular in shape and have quotation marks around the words within when a person on-camera is speaking, also with an arrow pointing from the speech bubble to the person who is speaking. When the person is off-camera, the speech bubble will have no quotation marks and no arrow indicating where the person is. The speech bubbles font is always Comic Sans MS.

Speech bubbles 2: are the speech bubbles that are opaque, see-through 'black' squares/rectangles with white, black-outlined text. These indicate that speech is going on underneath/in the background of the main focus of your attention. I.E. the main character's thoughts, or a conversation happening more closely. The speech bubbles 2 font is always Comic Sans MS.

Descriptive bubbles: Are the square/rectangular 'bubbles' that will typically be placed in the top left-hand corner of the page, indicating whether or not there's a scene change, where it has changed TO, and what time it is: I.E. [The River: 10:50PM]. Rarely, there might be descriptive bubbles that act for a 'narrative' purpose. I.E [It was a cold night on the eve of Saturday...]. The descriptive bubbles font is always Times New Roman.
