Hi
I am new here.
I logged in because I would like to ask you a question about one technical detail.
I am writing a script in which the world is slightly different than the one we live in. Sligthly is important here. Never mind the details. Let's imagine that all the buildings are normal except for one thing: all they are blue. Or green. Doesn't matter here.
I would like to avoid repeating the same in every scene happening in the city in order to save precious space. I don't want to write in every scene "In this scene the buildings are also blue".
Is it acceptable to write something like this in the first scene?
"Please note: from now on in every scene, except if stated otherwise, all buildings are blue."?
I know of one famous movie, Dances with Wolves, who used this kind of stage directing. There it looked like this:
(PLEASE NOTE: ALL INDIAN DIALOGUE WILL BE IN NATIVE DIALECT AS INDICATED BY TRIBE. SUBTITLES WILL BE USED.)
However I heard that it is generally unadviced to do such things.
What is your opinion? Is it allowed or not do write something like this? Or maybe you have a better way to solve my problem?
Thanks everyone in advance for your reply
Regards
JotKay
