Need a small Help!

sagar.author · Sep 9, 2012

Hi,

I need a small help. I have to mention "20 years later" in the script. I remember reading about this somewhere, but now completely out of
my mind, reading sites but nothing very clear.

Can someone please tell me where and how to write it after one scene is finished.

Thanks in advance!!!

Peace.

You can do it simply with...

Title card: 20 Years Later

or some prefer...

Super: 20 Years Later

Just read plenty of scripts.

Examples include:

From "The Sixth Sense":

Code:

Vincent instantly moves the gun to his own head. ANOTHER 
HORRIFIC BLAST SPIKES THE AIR. Vincent crumples onto the 
bathroom floor.

ANNA'S CHILLING SCREAMS FILL THEIR HOME.

                                                   DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. BENCH - AFTERNOON
The legend, "Two Years Later" appears.

A man flips open a worn file folder on his lap. Handwritten 
notes fill every line.

From: "Knowing"

Code:

TIGHTEN ON PROFESSOR TED MYLES, early forties, unkempt like he’s 
seen better times, pressed up against the eyepiece of an 
expensive amateur telescope, searching for something...

SUPER THE TITLE:  [B]50 Years Later[/B]

EXT. TED’S BACKYARD - NIGHT

Ted straightens up, satisfied. Looks over his shoulder.

From: "Kill Bill"

Code:

Elle doesn't even look back.

                 ELLE
       Tough titty, I quit.

She walks out of the SHOT.

   FADE TO BLACK.

BLACK FRAME
TITLE CARD:
                  Five years later.
        CUT TO:

INT. THE COMATOSE BRIDE'S HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT

The CAMERA is in a corner of the ceiling, looking down on the
comatose Bride, who lies motionless in her bed.

Just pick a style that you like.

Good luck,

Mac
