Hey all, this is going to sound incredibly lazy, but I come here for advice because this is something that has always confused me. I have a story I want to write, the plot is simple and I like the way it flows. However, from the beginning I face a problem - I have scenes with sparse dialogue, where the scene flows more on what you see than what you hear. However, as well as this works within the context of the script, on paper a minute long scene last for two or three lines. I don't want to write a prose piece here, but I do wonder, if the general rule is one page equals one minute, then how do you extend such a scene to fit that rule? Short of moving onto another page I'm confused as to what to do. What is the generally regarded format when dealing with such an issue?
Thanks in advance,
