You should probably check with the specific person who you are giving the art to see what format they want it in and how they want it set up. But usually PDF's and generic EPS files are used with all text saved as curves or outlines.

You can label each film with the color ink you want since any color ink can be put on a screen. So you can include instructions and color palettes when you send the file. But the art can be in all black.
