Hi Guys,
I was curious about this, and I was hoping to see if someone could shed some light on it. Sorry if this seems arbitrary.
If you open an action line with the subject, is it acceptable to then lose the he/she/they/name for the following actions on the same line? I think it reads quicker, and I've seen it done in other scripts; however, it does create fragments.
Just as an example:
INT. STORE
John enters. Draws his gun. Meets the clerk's nervous glare.
Commas would be incorrect without connecting words like and, then, etc, and adding those words would make it more cumbersome. The same for putting he or John before everything.
Like:
INT. STORE
John enters. He draws his gun. He meets the clerk's nervous glare.
Can anyone help out on this?
