I am writing a scene in a film script where a phone call takes place, the main character calling his estranged wife from a bar. I want to cut between the wife in her home and the scene in the bar, showing both locations and characters. Do I keep this all in one scene and CUT TO: every time I switch location between the man and his wife or do I introduce the locations etc it in the scene action and then have it structured like regular dialogue without having to cut back and forth in my directions? Or do I need a new scene every time it switches locations? I have seen this handled differently in scripts including TV scripts but wondered if there was a standard way of doing this for a UK feature film script.
Advice greatly appreciated - thanks.
