Arguments in the background
Posted: Jul 26, 2013 1:50 pm
Hi forum,
This is my first proper attempt at screenwriting. In the opening scene, there are two muffled voices arguing, and then the main characters speak over the voices. I'm wondering how you would write this.
Would you write out the argument that the people are having? Or would you simply say [Name] and [Name] are arguing? And if the former, how would you write the characters speaking whilst the people are still arguing?
Confusing stuff!
Thanks!
Matt
