Hi,
I'm a little confused as to how far a screenwriter can go in talking about the inner thoughts of a character. I've heard that only what is clearly visible outwardly to the audience should be mentioned in the script but I see many scripts saying things like "X wonders if he's alive." etc. so I was wondering which of these would be normal in a script like:
-"X seems confused."
-"Car noises run through his mind."
-"Panicked thoughts flood through him."
Thanks
