Basic Directing: Entering & Exiting the Scene

If a character is commanded to “stand” on screen, they will pop into existence rather than enter naturally. So you will need to make your characters enter.

Walking On Screen Syntax:

@CHARACTER enters from SIDE to POSITION

Examples:

@ANGIE enters from left to screen left

@YOU enters from left to back right

Walking Off Screen Syntax:

@CHARACTER exits SIDE

Examples:

@ANGIE exits right

@YOU exits left
