Hi, I am writing my second screenplay and I am a bit confused about a couple things. When the movie starts I want it to have the location and year, which is Lynchburg, Tennessee 1994. How do I write this in my screenplay? Right now I have Lynchburg, Tennessee 1994 then my opening scene starts.
Also, when pausing in dialogue do I use (beat)? Does anyone still do that? I see some screenplays have -- instead?
