Perhaps many of you will say it's up to the director to make those decisions, but since I am a writer-director, I have to make it clear for myself and everyone else reading this script. I see the individual shots and cuts in my mind, and if I can't convey what I see in my mind and get it down on paper, I consider it a failure. The example above is only one of many cases I can think of where I've encountered this problem. This sequence takes place at a real place I happen to know, and it's got a driveway / even smaller dirt road leading down to the house itself. I'm not sure driveway is the correct word to use here. The concept behind Slugline is to keep the app simple so screenwriters can focus on the writing. Many outlets have their own styles to slugs to indi. This scene covers various locations: a highway, smaller dirt road, a driveway and ultimately end up on the exterior of a house by the sea. A few weeks ago, I wrote about the introduction of Slugline, a new Mac app for screenwriting from Stu Maschwitz and Clint Torres of Act Focused Media. Answer (1 of 2): A slug line is a very simple description of a story, typically only one or two words, used to enable quick identification of the copy for editors, proofreaders, page designers and anyone else involved in the production process.
How could you write this sequence without using so many sluglines considering this is technically several different locations?
Together they walk into the house to have a look at the crime scene.ĭuring this sequence, the investigators are constantly talking, and we cutaway to their angry boss who's waiting for them. The investigators park in front of the house, get out of the car and walk up the porch to greet their angry boss. He's talking to his colleague who has no choice but to endure his ill-tempered mood. On the porch of the house stands their angry boss who's waiting for the investigators to show up.

The driver makes a right onto a driveway leading down to a remote house by the sea. First on the highway, then a smaller dirt road.
