Hello! This is my very first post on this forum. I am writing my first script for a short film and I tried Google my question but couldn't find any answer so I thought to ask other fellow expert writers to help me out in this particular scene.
Scene:
''A group of 7 people sitting in a lounge, fully drowned on the screens of their phones. Now the camera slowly moves in/zoom in and shows one by one all these characters. Some are busy punching text messages and some are engaged on their social media profiles. At this moment viewers can see their fast moving hands only and the screens of their phones plus the text messages they write, or the pictures they post on their social media''
Some people say that never write the camera or shot instructions on the screenplay and leave it for the director. But in this case it is important part of the story but I have no idea how to put this on my script. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any insights and for your time.
Best Regards,
John Alia
