Written this already, and not sure I like it. Looked for examples (Usual Suspects script), but no help.
Have a character relating an historical story to a group with quick soundless flashes of action from that story dropped in (bit like ANGEL HEART finale - checked that too, not in the script!).
At the moment it looks like this:
CHARACTER
blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah.
blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah.
blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah.
INTERCUT BETWEEN CHARACTER AND SUCCESSION OF [silent] POP SCENES
- flash showing what the blah, blah, blah was about, but with more detail.
CHARACTER
blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah.
blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah. blah.
- Another flash showing once again what is happened.
CHARACTER
Blah. Blah. Blah.
---------------------------
...and that's the way the page runs. Now, should I revert to proper slugs and scene descriptions for the flashes and just make CHARACTER's dialogue (V.O) despite wanting to cut back to them or should I go with the old FLASH ON and FLASH OFF before the flashes?
I'm over thinking this here I know, but it's bugging me that in it's current form it's not clear what I'm doing.
Thanks.
