I'm working on scenes consisting of a slow walking tour through a city.
I started out with slug lines for every new street the characters turn into. That became quite busy, and not consistent with what I understand is current recommendations.
I therefore limited the slug lines to only those locations that are essential and identified by specific names. The multiple streets they walk through to get to those specific places are now indicated in the action descriptions. Those unnamed streets change mostly for visual variation while dialogues are happening, and are not essential to the story.
Now I am in doubt about the right approach. The first version appeared to be more organized and therfore clearer.
Your input will be appreciated.
