When to CAPAITALIZE?

This is one of the lessons I learnt from my mentor

This is good advice, but be sure to CAPITALIZE when first introduced in a scene and not thereafter.

Unfortunately this is one of those things that can be specific to the producer/director involved with a project. Some like stuff in caps while other don't. You're right about the character intro's being capatalized. Some writers will also capatalize specific SOUNDS as well objects, but only if they are intended to be a focal point of the scene/story. My suggestion to you is to NOT capatalize anything other than first-time appearances of characters. This keeps it simple and easy to read and going with no caps is always better than capatalizing every single sound and prop.

What are the rules for CAPITALIZATION?  I know yew have to CAPITALIZE the FIRST APPEARANCE of CHARACTERS.  but ACTION seems to be RANDOM.  I have NOTICED that sometimes it IS and sometimes it is NOT.

What are the RULES here?
