I believe Glen Bradley essentially suggested dropping the use of CONTINUOUS- I agree so long as the action/sluglines clearly indicate this to be the case. Addressing points brought up within it and at the risk of repeating some: I'm confused if in your example when you use "CHURCH" is he now inside the church or outside looking IN through the windows? Is the action happening in the PIAZZA and just temporarily the person is looking into the church, and other places (and you do actually intend to change the view to INSIDE those buildings) around the PIAZZA? If not and the action/view actually moves into the Church (the focus actually goes IN there) then I wouldn't use EXT/INT PIAZZA. I don't think that would work because of a "technicality" which is you can't be INT in the PIAZZA but it would work for the church itself because you can be INSIDE and OUTSIDE the church (or a home or a car, etc.)īut I guess it COULD work depending on what is happening. Using your example of EXT/INT - SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA/PIAZA - DAY or in a home from DINING ROOM to KITCHEN to UPSTAIRS or in a bar AT THE BAR to DANCE-FLOOR to BACK BILLIARD ROOM or whatever) or maybe even EXT locations in different areas in that same location (Like a shipyard and around the STACKS OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS or NEAR THE CRANES or NEAR THE DOCK, etc.) I personally like sub-headings when inside a building and moving to different rooms (like in a hotel going from LOBBY to BAR to ELEVATOR, etc. I wouldn't use them to bridge transitions (but that might work).

My opinion with sub-headings is to use them if you are remaining at one location or in one location.
