Hey, I'm in the midst of writing a screenplay and I want to open it with a shot of a webpage with a little voice over introduction. I was wondering how this could be formatted. What would be the appropriate slug and do I just describe the visual in the description afterwards? The shot is important but brief, it doesn't take place on anyones computer in particular.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd just write it as a mini slug and describe the visuals. I'm not an expert but that's how I'd write it.
