Re: People talking with headsets
Just read a ton of scripts. Read scripts that are getting sold, circulated, landing writers work, meetings, reps, winning contests etc.
Read all of the Black List scripts from the past few years.
Then you'll notice how they all differ slightly in terms of formatting and narrative choices. Some use "We see", some don't. Some use terms I've never seen before (like Guggenheim's "as we GO TO" instead of "CUT TO").
But do you know what they all have in common? Clarity. Clarity of the movie we're supposed to be seeing -- which IMO is the only thing you need to concerned about with regards to this formatting hoopla.
Because every writer has their own formatting preferences -- you will always get different answers on which is the best -- which is the safest.
IMO, as long you stick with the font, the basic margins and slug layout, and your writing is clear, you're golden.
