How do I write a scene in a single large café where there are groups of characters I'd like to speak as the camera roles to the other side of the room (from right to left, one end of the room to the other)?
I've heard you aren't supposed to give 'camera directions' in scripts.
Do I just write "INT. Café - Night-; then Person A and B enter, Person C and D are speaking at entrance (with dialogue); to the left of them/ adjacent to them, Person C and D are speaking (dialogue); beside the opposite wall, F and G are speaking?
Or maybe "INT. CAFE / TABLE 1 - NIGHT" ; "INT. CAFE / TABLE 2 - NIGHT" etc? How to show action is moving from right to left? Can you please provide examples or what formatting might look like? many thanks
