Hello good people. I just wondered if I could get any advice from the wise folk on here about how to format the opening of a script I'm currently writing. It's not really a montage I don't think, (although I could be wrong), it introduces the 2 main characters who are going about their daily business in 2 separate locations and it cuts between the 2. It's not split screen, I want a few seconds on one character before cutting to the other, this goes on for roughly 30 seconds.
Now I have final draft and if I want to create a new scene then it starts it on a different page. I don't want to have this 30 second opening written as a few lines on about 8 different pages which it is at present as I am cutting between the shots and the next shot is becoming a new scene, how can I get around this?
Any help greatly appreciated. I probably haven't explined that too well so apologies for that.
