Sub Slug Lines
SceneWriter Pro will only allow one Slug Line Element per scene - and that must reside at the top of the scene - however, sometimes there will be instances when you require to insert partial, or "sub" slug lines into your scene.
For example, take a look at the following:
|
INT. JASON'S HOUSE - DAY Something happens here... INT. JASON'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - DAY Something else happens here... INT. JASON'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY Something else happens here... |
Because the "main" locations and times are the same for all three scenes, they can be written in shorthand by ommiting the INT. JASON'S HOUSE and DAY from the slug lines and creating "sub" slug lines:
|
INT. JASON'S HOUSE - DAY Something happens here... BEDROOM Something else happens here... KITCHEN Something else happens here... |
As SceneWriter Pro only allows you to insert slug lines at the top of a scene, the method for inserting "sub" slug lines is to write them in the Direction element, and uppercase the text.
