Unless you specify which abbreviations you're looking for, I'm not sure this'll be a straightforward question. since there could be movie specific, writer specific, era specific etc...

@Vishwa, I don't think your comment is relevant here. Since there are a number of default standard abbreviations in movie scripting used by all script writers

Relevancy is matter of perspective dude. anyway, if you're looking for default/standard abbreviations, then you should mention it in your question. Even though if there is default standard abbreviations like you say, it'll still be a broad area to cover, isn't it? and how can one consider which are the standards? I don't know if there's any official guidelines , if there's then it'll be usable as a foundation to get what you're looking for

These abbreviations represent the type of scene and the area where it's being filmed.
From this glossary and this page from abbreviations used in movie scripts,
EXT. => Exterior
INT. => Interior
O.S. => Abbreviation for Off Screen, denoting that the speaker is not resident within the scene.
V.O. => Abbreviation for Voice Over, denoting that the speaker is narrating the action onscreen.
You can find more abbreviations on the linked pages.
Really, the only other common ones I can think of would be FX/SFX (sound effect) and MOS (silent)--oh, and POV (shot from the character's point of view).
