Hello All,
I have been teaching myself about writing movie scripts and among other questions that I have yet to answer, the one that I will ask you fines folks for an answer to is as follows:
If i'm writing a scene, let's say it's scene #1 and I have a woman walking through a forest doing whatever, maybe she's site seeing. Then we move ahead in time a couple of minutes and we're with the same woman, but she's now at a different area in the same forest. Does this mean we are now in scene two or at a different point in scene one?
I'm sorry if i didn't explain that very well..
Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond...

There are two ways of doing it. The first and old fashioned way is to do it as too separate scene headings.
EXT. FOREST TRAIL - DAY
A woman site-sees in the forest.
EXT. FOREST CRIME SCENE - LATER
The woman stares in horror at a pile of blood, fur and guts
The more recent way of doing it is to make it a single scene.
EXT. FOREST - DAY
A woman site sees in the forest. Later she comes across the
CRIME SCENE
Its not really a scene heading but serves as sort of a mini heading. This is common when you're talking scenes within the same area that might flow into each other. It is also used when you have established two locations already and are cutting back and forth between them during fenzied action you can use the shortened version.
