Hello.
I'm trying to write a scene at the moment which is fully reliant on the action taking place, there is no dialogue at all. I'm not too sure how best to present this on paper though because although I know in my head what I want to happen, it's hard to put into words which when someone other than me would read, they'd know exactly what I meant. Like in the Royle Family, the scene when Jim and Twiggy are stripping the wallpaper. Has anyone seen a copy of the script? Do they just outline what is going on, e.g. THEY DANCE AROUND WHILE STRIPPING THE WALL. Or does it go into detail of every little action they do, e.g. THEY TWIRL AND JUMP WHILE USING THEIR SPATULAS AS MICROPHONES. So my question is, do I write a big block of scene action describing every single detail of what's going on, or do I summaries?
Any help is helpful. Tony.
