So I have a character who is disguised as another character.
How would I identify them for the reader when they jump in and out of the disguise?
________
INT. HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER
Cin steps out. Or wait! maybe it's Pep? We're not sure.
On closer examination we realize that it is in fact Cin. Her eyelashes taped to the side of her face so she looks like Pep. This is CIN/PEP. It's not a perfect imitation, but the disguise should fool anyone 20 feet away.
_______
Then when I refer to the character when she's in disguise the name heading is CIN/PEP.
When not in disguise it just CIN
does that sound right to you?
no, the audience won't be surprised. it's a funny moment and the disguise it ridiculous. For me it's for the reader to know that's she's dressed up as well as the animator to know what he's drawing. So for every dialogue the heading is CIN/PEP or just CIN is she's not in disguise. does that help clarify the question?
