Hey, I am a keen script writer and I like to create all the scripts I write.

Bit there is always one problem, flicking between locations and time.
I mean, What hould I write if i want to miss out alot of time without putting in '1 hour later' or something like that?
OR if I want to change location but hav the same characters....in the cene before it?

The one that I think is most commonly used is "Later".

It follows the same format as a slugline and allows the reader to know that time has passed.

hope this helps,
Gabe

Check out this thread: http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-screenwrite/m-1166735792/

It covers both of these questions.
