Some simple fixes to the format could go a long way from keeping readers from being confused and frustrated.

Reading “we see” over and over becomes tedious and slows down the reader.

Rather than using “WE SEE,” you could show what you want us to see in that line. Some of the best tips I have read is tothink of each section of descriptive narrative as a single shot and based on how much detail is in the narrative dictates what kind of shot is likely, wide, close, etc..

FOOTSTEPS

A MAN walks up the stairs.

A CLOCK TICKS somewhere in the house.



The description underneath the speaking character should just be narrative.

LUCAS frowns, takes a sip of beer.

                           LUCAS
     Dude, it’s your third fucking bottle.
        C’mon, Stop drinking.



Anyway, those are my two cents. Good luck!
