Continuing from my last post about techniques on how to write Voice-Over movies...
Let's say that the frame of the story is the protagonist breaking the fourth wall and speaking directly to camera, "I Tonya" style. The character is sitting in a confessional booth speaking to a Priest (i.e. the audience)
If I want to cut back to that shot every 15 or so pages, would I use a slug line each time, and would I need a new scene description each time?
Nothing changes in the scene. It's literally just a person speaking. So it seems awkward to write "INT. Confessional Booth- Day. We are back in the booth. It's exactly the same as it was earlier"... ! Or worse to try and invent some mild change in the scene to give myself something to write instead of just launching into the dialogue straight after the slug line.
Curious!
