Quoted from Max Lol, you crack me up Libby.  I can always vibe with the Aussies I feel, and I feel as if the British aren't that far removed from people such as yourself. I know everything about Australia because I watch Neighbours.

Oh dear. If you'd said you watched Home And Away as well, then all would be well, but without it I fear a gaping big hole of cultural knowledge.   How's that for some expounding?!

And you're beating us in the Ashes. Another, oh dear.  

Libby, did I not expand on this and offer exactly why other ime elements can be important?  I thought I did...

I don't care about Cricket lol....

If it ain't Wrestling, MMA or Snooker... I don't give a flying uff.

Tennis? Aiight.

Olympics? Aiight

Cricket?  Fuck off.

I commented back that I could see your POV if applied to a movie/script that spans one day - or watching a sunset/sunrise. Other than that I said I do believe it could get confusing and inconsistent.

Fen, I agree re the cricket. It used to be on all day every day over the Summer. Now I have the luxury of saying, no thanks. Love the Olympics!

Olympics is incredible.

If Ronda Rousey tried her hand at Judo again, I think she could get a gold medal this time around.  I think she's content with where she is tho, but I know that elusive gold medal haunts her.

How can you be that competitive and gloss over that? Know what I mean?

How and why could it possibly be confusing, when it's an exact detail?  What am I possibly missing here?

When it's no longer MORNING, you simply switch to DAY.  Please explain...

Jeez, now you're sounding like one of our politicians.

Over the course of one day it isn't confusing. I'll leave it at that.

LOL...

I'm far from one our Politicians.

Sorry, if I came off as rude, but I honestly don't understand how being visual and detailed could ever be confusing.

They are doped. All of them are doped. Wake up.

Thanks for the apology re tone - I appreciate it.

I think I need to examine the whole DAY, NIGHT, MORNING, EVENING thing, a bit more.

Quoted from Reef Dreamer Anybody know how to do this automatically on Final draft?

As somebody who's been using bold headings for a while, you click Format at the top, then click elements. A small popup should appear, press scene heading, then font... Then 'set font'. You'll see a 'font style' menu, simply click bold and okay and you'll be done. I never remember it being this complicated actually.

I also like to change the spacing of slugs, so instead of it skipping two lines, it skips one. This is primarily because with bold slugs, it's very obvious when a new slug has emerged. Another thing I like to do is change transitions to bold... But I haven't seen anybody else do that before, so it may just be me.

I didn't realize there was a setting in Final Draft, weird that I've never noticed it.  I normally don't mess with the element settings.

Is that really surprising, Max?  LOL!!!    

Day or night only apparently.
So you just suggest or describe if it is the crack of dawn or if it's dusk in the action line...? Why not put it in the slugline then?

Just curious as to what kind of films these screenwriting guru people are basing this on -- I mean a vampire film might depend on night, day, dawn, dusk as settings.

These so-called "expert writers" seem to mention the same ol' crappy films that I have no interest in, so I take their advise with a large pinch of salt.

Quoted from Max I don't care about Cricket lol.... Cricket?  Fuck off.

How could you say that to the noblest of sports, the closest thing to tactical warfare played over five days.

Ok, dull as sh@t unless you like that kind of stuff.

Luckily for cricket, they still allow you to drink at the game so it's basically a day on the piss for most spectators - whoopee
