Help with Background Characters?

Hello! I’m currently writing a story and need some help with background characters. I’d like for students in the school hallway to be talking, walking, or on their cellphones. I want the scene to pan the whole area then back again to the beginning to see the main character walk onscreen. Can someone help me with this? Perhaps giving me a sample background character template? I will credit you in the story! Thank you!

Hello! I’m using INT. ACADEMIC HALL RED - DAY. thanks for the help!

it’s easy, really, just spot the characters and then pan… you can use & and starts so the background characters won’t effect the actual scene. spot everybody BEFORE the panning. Use layers (maybe some zooms) and then you will have it, it’s really not that hard, I do it all the time!

Thanks for the help guys :slight_smile:
