When writing a script, if you want something to be in slow motion, would you say in the action that you want it to be in slow motion, or would the director decide whether or not he wants it in slow motion?

You can have a direction such as

SLOW MOTION: Bobby smashes through the plate glass window, and plunges to the ground. He screams amidst the glass which falls with him.

Probably the best way to do it. Yeah, it's a direction, but if you kep your director's notes to a minimum, it's ok.

Okay thanks, George. I was just thinking about it just in case I wanted to use it in my next script.
