As part of writing my script I went and read the pilot script of the television series 'House' and the script for some of the episodes of 'Mr Robot'. I also found a website called for Australian Short Films where you can read different scripts for short films made by other filmmakers both for inspiration and see how different screenwriters choose to layout their scripts.I looked at the pilot of 'House' mainly to remember how the layout works since it had been over a year since I last wrote a script. I also compared the pilot for 'House' to the pilot for 'Mr Robot' to see how they introduce the characters differently. In 'House', David Foster use a lot of establishing shots before introducing the main character, Greg House. Sam Esmail does sort of the same in 'Mr Robot', but having the main character, Elliot, doing V.O from the very beginning over the establishing shots, and slowly revealing who he is.
On 'Mr Robot' I also looked at the dialogue since I took a great deal of inspiration from the dialogue in the series and adapted it to my own script. Pilot 'House': http://leethomson.myzen.co.uk/House/House_1x01_-%20_Pilot.pdf
