When should mini slugs be used under a shot heading? Are mini slugs only for location or can they be used to indicate a specific shot as in an object? For example which would be correct:
1.
INT. WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
Stepping through the door, Johnâ€TMs face turns white at the site of putrefied bodies. John steps over the bodies and stops at one he recognizes. He checks the coat pocket of the corpse and pulls a small object out.
ORB of CONTEMPLATION
glows in the darkness.
John is awestruck for a moment before he wraps it in a cloth and stuffs it in his pocket.
or
2.

-- Is the ORB of CONTEMPLATION example a shot, scene heading, or just action? I'm using Final Draft and it can be set as any of these, but it also affects the spacing. Is this just a case where it doesn't really matter? Thanks.
