Hey all,
I'm working on a new script right now and I have question about scene headings. I've got a character that moves, so there are many similar headings. for instance. in the beginning of the script a heading may be:
EXT. ETHAN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Later in the script he moves to a new home so how would I label his new bedroom (which will be his bedroom for the remainder of the script)? Would I label them both with "ETHAN'S BEDROOM", or give his initial house a heading like this:
EXT. ETHAN'S BEDROOM, HOUSE 1 - NIGHT
And give his new room the notation "HOUSE 2" or would that be bad form? How does one differentiate similar locations?
Also, when doing a scene with a car, would it be labeled INT or EXT? Say perhaps the scene may be shot cutting from interior angles and exterior angles of a crowd walking around a car with a guy in it. How would I label the scene heading so the whole sequence could just be written as one big description, and leave it up to the director/DP to decide where to shoot the angles from, whether looking out from inside the car or in from the outside?
Thanks!
