Changing background elements

This is probably super basic - I was just wondering if you have someone with say a door open how you change the scene so the door is shut without the characters disappearing and the scene reopening

Yeah, all you need to do is find the background with the door shut and withit open.

Keep note of where your character(s) are.

Ex.

INT. BACKGROUND NAME DOOR CLOSED - DAY
@CHAR stands screen center

Blah blah blah

INT. BACKGROUND NAME DOOR OPEN - DAY
@Char stands screen center

Blah blah blah

I’m hoping that makes sense

Yeah that makes sense I’ve just had trouble in the past with changing the background and then the character disappears then reappears during the transition x

Thank you x

Oh yeah, you need to have

@transition fade out black
BACKGROUND
add characters
@transition fade in black

But I feel like you already knew that! :blush:
