Many Questions
1. In my script I have 4 people saying something at the same time-ish. And I know of dual dialog, but its 4 people, not 2. So I'm not sure how to do it, but I did find this.
Here is a little of the scene:
All 4 people cut him off and speak at the same time. Is it the correct way in that above link where I list all 3 characters and dialog in one character line? Should I use a parenthetical putting 'in unison', 'simultaneously'?
2. And also if their saying something different. Is he also correct on that? Listing all 3 under each other?
3. Did I use the right method to cut someone off? '--'?
4. Here is a little bit of another scene I have, it is at the end of the scene.
When he says weapons, I want a really hard stopping like a cut to another scene. But I need that other scene to fade in. So a hard cut and fade in. Like maybe at the end of an episode with a lot of suspense like this, as you can see it ends hard, then the credits fade in, well instead of credits I need my scene to do the fading in. I'm just not sure how to script it correctly.
Did I do this correctly or is there another way or what?
5. Do I fade in then do the slug line, or slug line then fade in?
Thanks!!
