What is the proper format for writng a scene where you incorporate slow motion. Is it something that should be used in a spec script? Marvin.  

As a writer, you don't!

If you want to imply slow motion, simply add a lot of detail so the one-page-equals-one-minute-on-the screen applies.

For example:

John watches as a single drop of water leaves the faucet.  It hits the sink below.

--in slow motion--

John watches the single drop hanging from the faucet.  It clings as it grows.  Time slows down as it swell up until--

it breaks free!

John watches it, almost as if in slow motion, until it explodes on the sink below.

Here's an example from one of my scripts.

*******************

She throws the wooden panel aside and kneels over the pool.  Next to the still Child, her reflection shows her sorrow.

As she reaches a hand forward, her cut finger spills fresh blood across her open palm. It gathers as a deep crimson drip that dangles from her hand.

Then it drops from its parent flow becoming an independent sphere that falls toward the clear water with dogged determination. A microscopic tsunami released as it reaches its destination.

Thanks Phil for your reply I see what you mean.  I thought it shouldn't be used but wanted to be sure.

Mcornetto, what a great example from your script. I enjoyed reading it. Marvin.
