So, I am writing a short in which a young boy has an overactive imagination. When it starts we are in the boy's back yard with him, but when he looks around the corner of the house I want to indicate that what he sees is another location/time/experience (his fantasy), not the rest of his back yard.
I tried it this way:
EXT. BACK YARD - DAY
A young boy, JOHN DOE (11), peers around the corner of his house.
EXT. JOHN DOE'S POV - LARGE PARKING LOT - DAY
Cars whip in and out of parking spaces.
EXT. BACK YARD - DAY
John pulls his head back, he picks up his book bag and walks around the corner.
EXT. JOHN DOE'S POV - LARGE PARKING LOT - DAY
etc. etc. etc.
I was trying to find the right way to transition back and forth, does this work? Is there a better way? Am I even making any sense?
Thanks for any help,
Larry
