Phone Calls play a crucial role in many films. They can be an important component of the story. Let's take a look at how to format a Phone Call in a screenplay. 📄All descriptions come from the original screenplays.
Whenever I write phone calls, I always write "Alternate Between Scenes", is this a good technique to use, or should I have been using "Intercut" all this time?
Cristopher Riley's excellent book on script format, The Hollywood Standard, suggests INTERCUT. I've seen INTERCUT used in most of the scripts I've read. But ALTERNATE BETWEEN SCENES gets the point across. 👍
