The Cut of Your Jib
Apr 24, 2007


you don't find a style

a style finds you



For the scene header, I'd be explicit and say EXT. SCHOOL YARD - YEARS LATER - DAY (that's for the director/producers, not the audience)

But in the scene itself, the cheat I'd use to convey it is advertising on the scoreboard. Scoreboard sponsored by Jack's Robot Parts Grand Opening (or Now Open) something like that. Pan up to sky, back to scoreboard that reads Jack's Robot Parts Celebrating 10 Years in Shelbyville. A brand new sign changing to an aged one will help sell it too.
