The way I write has none of "we see" in there, I leave that completely out. The way I write my screenplays is with a novel attitude-show/don't tell, active, and absolutely no camera directions. Just straight forward to the point where the story flows without any interruption from directive narration.
But it seems to be different from these intrusive screenplays I read, that are top of the line mind you-they all include 'we see' we hear' 'we follow' 'you see' etc. littered throughout.
On top of that, I keep hearing obey the rules of screenplays but also expend as much energy breaking them, because you want yours to stand out. And I also hear if your screenplay stands out in the slightest above what people see it is a goner.
I'm just having information overload here and am wondering am I over-thinking this issue. It is maddening
