Film Nomenclature
Here are some scriptwriting terms you can use. You need to use at least
one term in every scene.

into another scene.
ESTABLISHING SHOT: Use to be used to give an overall perspective of a
scene.
EXT. Short for exterior, or outside.
FADE IN: This is the start of the screenplay.
FADE OUT: This is the end.
Fg: Stands for Foreground. Used to place an object or person in front
of the scene.
FREEZE FRAME: The image freezes on the screen and becomes a still shot.
INT.: Short for interior, or indoors.
INTERCUT: To go back and forth between to locations, scenes, or
elements in a scene.
INSERT: An item that is inserted into the camera view. Usually a note,
or picture is inserted so the audience can either read what is on the
note, or see the picture.
Master scene heading: Begins each new scene. It consists of three
parts: The LOCATION, PLACE, and TIME of the scene. For example:
* EXT. PLAYGROUND - NIGHT or
* INT. BEDROOM - DAY
MONTAGE or SERIES OF SHOTS: A number of different scenes shown one
