I'm working on a project right now where the previous scene ended with the set and characters being 'plunged into darkness'. The next scene is meant to open with a hand pulling away from the character the scene introduces (hero's love interest), and then move to the wider scene. Right now, this is how I've got it written:
Is this a good way to structure it? Or is there a better way?
Jackson pulls the lever, plunging the room into darkness.
INT. NICE APARTMENT/LIVING ROOM -- DAY
INSERT: BLACK SCREEN
SUPER: 10 YEARS LATER
ELISE POV
A hand pulls away, revealing a furnished living room in an apartment with large windows. A vast city-scape is visible outside.
NORMAL POV
Jackson steps around from where he's standing behind ELISE SATTLER and gestures grandly to the room.

What do you think?
