Quoted from Leegion
Hm... mini slugs vs. slugs.  Hot topic in the screenwriting world.

Okay, imagine a MAN making dinner in the KITCHEN.  He takes the tray out the oven, dishes it all up, carries two plates into the DINING ROOM.  Returns to the KITCHEN for two wine glasses.  Then he's sitting at the table with a WOMAN eating the food he made.

How would this function on-screen?  Well...


Well, in part they are a hot topic for good reason. In your example you have DINING ROOM as a mini, and then after that have the dining room as a master. You'd do this this other way round; but then of course, you have your two masters: in that case it is better to have the house as a master, and the kitchen and dining room as minis, as the minis are sub-locations within the scene.

I think it's always important to acknowledge that setting a new scene means setting up in that scene, so people are going to be getting equipment, lights etc. together to do the filming, so you have to establish what scenes need to be set up very clearly.
