I'm writing a script which will show a closed door with a series of captions;
"5 minutes"
"10 minutes"
"15 minutes"
With each caption, I'd like a specific sound effect. What's the best way of representing this in a script?
Captions
I guess it would be something along the lines of:
CAPTION: "5 minutes later."
FX: Your sound effect here.
TIME JUMP TO:
CAPTION: "10 minutes later."
FX: Your sound effect here.
TIME JUMP TO:
CAPTION: "15 minutes later."
FX: Your sound effect here.

Is the sound/music meant to be coming through the door.
I doubt if there is a standardised way of representing this in a script so just put something like:
INT -- Dracula's Castle -- DAY
All we see is a closed door
OVERLAY CAPTION: 5 Minutes
The music of "The Blue Danube" is heard through the door.
OVERLAY CAPTION: 10 Minutes
The sound of Elvis singing "Jailhouse Rock" is heard through the door
etc
etc
The door opens and we see Count Dracula in his pyjamas
.
Excellent. Thanks guys.
Billwill, have you seen my script?
