I'm writing a scene at the moment which is set in the 70's, I want it to then fade into a scene from the present day.
How do I write that?
Would it be:
Scene 1. Int. Michael's Office. Day. 1975
then
Scene 1. Int. Michael's Office. Day. Present Day. Continuous
Something like that, please do let me know.
I guess just write it exactly how you want it to look. So if you want it to fade into then it might be something like this:
Scene 1. Int. Michael's Office. Day. 1975
Stuff happens
FADE INTO: Int. Michael's Office. Day. Present Day.

That's a better way, thanks.
It used to be standard practice that scenes ended with
CUT TO
so you just put
FADE TO
instead at the end of the scene.

In practice, it ain't your job,..it's the job of the post production video/film editor, so all you really need do is ensure that the slug lines for the scenes include the location and the date.
