I wonder if you could clear something up for me. From our reading: in a Hancock script, Tony looks through a letterbox, we see POV what it in the hall, but it does not count as a separate scene. In Father Ted something similar happens and it does count as another scene.
Obviously for page count, we prefer the former, but is it acceptable?
"Technical question"
Argh. Sorry Aaron.
EDIT: Title by SlagA 
If it is from his POV then it is not a separate scene.
If it is from the POV Of the hall looking at Hancock peering through the letterbox then it is a separate scene.
If nothing much else happens in the second example then you have to question if you need the scene in the first place.
Right, cheers - I really appreciate this.
And say if we went from front door to hall to living room. Does it need to be a different scene in the hall even if it is continuous? If so, we will drop the hall which would be a pity. We like halls. Transitional spaces are inherently funny.
I take it you need the POV because the character sees something that's important to the episode - or to show that no one's in or whatever.
Id it's important I'd just put POV as action like:
POV THROUGH LETTER BOX REVEALING THERE'S NO ONE THERE.
Don't bother with a separate scene. As long as it's clear, you'll be fine.
If a character walks from one place to another I'd head it with:
INT. HALL / KITCHEN - DAY
Like that.
Lovely. That's what I'd hoped. Cheers gents.
The hall isn't important in this episode, but it is in a later one. So I'm glad we can keep it.
