INSERT
A SILVER necklace.
Hi all...is the above a correct format using INSERT?

Depends on what you next line is. But, more importantly, is the "INSERT" really necessary? You could easily write:

A SILVER NECKLACE.
He studies it. Winces.
LAW What, am I girl or something? What the fuck am I supposed to do with a necklace?
Down in the hole / Jesus tries to crack a smile / Beneath another shovel load
What Sniper says is correct. INSERT is usually followed by a BACK TO SCENE. I have used it in an OWC entry and I think in general it disrupts the flow a script. Having the object in a seperate line of action works just as well. If there is a particular detail that you need to show, like the time on a watch etc, then you could use:

lmao@ sniper's advise on Law's line. Man..you are genious..how could you possibly know what my character was about to say? i will leave out the INSERT, and be a simple man. and thanks Eoin, too. Now, I get it guys.. e.g
Tom hannds the GPS to Sue to take a look at. Sue studies it.
INSERT: GPS SCREEN
BACK TO SCENE
did i do it right? i will try to avoid using it as much as i can in the future. I understand that it can make the directors mad.
