    format Switching mid-speech

    Is switching who a character is talking to mid-speech frowned upon? TOMMY It was back, like behind a bunch of other stuff. (to Noah) You really shouldn’t eat that dude In the above example, it would seem unwieldy to have to put TOMMY again and then have him talking to Noah. I have seen...

    format specific characters

    Thanks guys! The way Jkds suggested looks better and more natural to me. I have just started reading screen plays. I have the feeling it can help with a lot of things.

    james76 Today at 5:01 PM When one character is talking to a specific character within a group. How is that done? On another forum it was suggested to be done like this. John (to jake) What are you drinking? That seems awkward and like too many spaces to me. Appreciate any advice

    Have any of you ever had to indicate that a character is looking through a peephole? I just put PEEPHOLE POV., and then described whats happening on the other side of the door. Is there a better way? Sorry if you've seen this question already. Still learning how to use the site.
