Answer 3

With no offense meant at all is this an assignment?

  BTW I checked the offered link?????????????? NOT what you want.

  The fact that you have no clue about a story line, matters. The writing of a 30 minute script could take weeks. Have you ever written a script before, for film or live performance?

  So much of your question cannot possibly be, accurately answered here without some details from you.

  Assume you need the story first of all, then characters and their roles and development, you have to include scenes, props, situations, fine details perhaps, even to clothing, or picking up something dropped, often shown in parentheses or asterisks. Etc. Etc. Etc.

  PAGES LONG is hardly the issue. You could do a minimalist sketch lasting 30 minutes, eating 2 dozen sheets of paper. Obviously in some very tedious effort, once you outline a STORY, you can edit or embellish, and perhaps type out the introductory, scene setting, and read it back as all the characters, timing yourself.

   I hardly think there are any strict formulas, in page numbers.
