Got A Script Request...

Hey everybody. I only joined Stage 32 a few weeks ago but I'm digging the vibe on this site. The encouragement everyone gives one another is amazing. This is a great community and I'm really happy to be a part of it. So, I sent a written pitch tonight and got a script request. I had my fingers cross...

How can I write this slugline/scene location?

In one of my screenplays, there is a scene where two characters jump off a building and, while in air, fire at other descending enemies and at enemies who are below them, on the ground. How can I write this scene's location to show that this happens while they're falling down? Thank you for taking your time to read and answer this!:)

EXT. NAKATOMI BUILDING - DAY John McCain and Hans jump from the building. Three enemies jump behind them. John and hans take shots at the three falling enemies and enemies on the ground.

David Levy

Find a copy of the script "The Other Guys" with Will Ferrell and Mark Whalberg. Find the scene where Samuel Jackson and The Rock jump from the building. See how the scene is written and modify it for your use.

Hey, I'm new to this place. Thought I'd add my two cents. I did a scene like this once. I used the slug EXT. BUILDING ROOFTOP - DAY. I played the scene up until the jump then wrote on a separate line....

It sounds like a major scene, and probably should be broken up with the appropriate amount of POV and secondary headings, like BUILDING ROOF...do your thing... MID-AIR....do your thing... ENEMY'S FACE...

Thanks for the post. Sluglines are relatively new to my writing and redrafts and I'm always interested to know how people use them. My take on them is that they're pretty liberating, for both the read...
