I have two scenes which I want to audience to see in a way that is clear they are watching the scene thru a surveillance video, and not the scene directly

For example: Person X exits the building and the audience sees the person being watched by surveillance video. In other words, the screen the audience is watching is one of a surveillance video camera, and not the scene directly.

How do I format the action/script so that this is clear to the reader of the script.

Considering your example I would write like this:

EXT.  BUILDING - DAY  [SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE]

Person Z exits, watches around carefully.

BACK TO SCENE
.
.
.

If you want write it within bracket or use a hyphen, it entirely up to you.

I hope it helps.


My scripts:

Night Steak - short
Early Birds - short
The Menacing - short
