I have a question regarding two specific cases that relate to sluglines and when a new one is necessary.
#1
I have a scene that begins in the hallway of a house where we see a man descend down the stairs (visible from the hallway) and then he walks through the hallway and into the kitchen where he has a long conversation and where the scene really takes place.
How do I handle this slugline-wise?
Do I just write
INT. HOUSE HALLWAY - DAY
and then explain in the action that he descends down the stairs and moves through the hall into the kitchen and leave it at that?
#2
I have a scene that begins on the street, a guy is walking and runs into someone, has a conversation, after the conversation ends he continues down the street a little further and then crosses, walks into a bar and the scene continues in the bar.
Now, the idea is that the whole part on the street would be handled in one take and POSSIBLY the take would continue on into the bar, but possibly there might be a cut from the street into the bar, but there would be no time lapse, the scene would just continue in the bar.
Do I need a new slugline when the guy walks into the bar?
