@EMMA stands upscreen left AND EMMA faces left

@EMMA is (text_phone_neutral_loop)

what did i do wrong? and in the review its not in zone 4

Don’t use brackets for the animation when using the “is” command.

Also try using
@EMMA stands upscreen left in zone 4 AND EMMA faces left

Specify the zone when placing characters to avoid errors.

That background is 3-zoned. It’s black screen because you zoned it out of the background. Move to zone 3.

i coded zone 3, and its still in zone 1 (i think). ig you know this background so i want the scene to be in the lockers zone and its on board.
@EMMA stands upscreen left in zone 3 AND EMMA faces left

this is what i coded

@EMMA stands screen left in zone 3 AND EMMA faces left

@EMMA is text_phone_neutral_loop

now i coded this, and the character is not on the scene

have you reset the zoom? It may be possible that you’re zoomed in and so you can’t see the character?

Have you changed it to @cut to zone 3?

how can i check it?

Just add a @zoom reset after you write the background name.

INT. BLUE SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY @zoom reset

like this?

I meant by this if you have changed it. If it still doesn’t show then chances are you’ve made camera changes in your previous scene and it brought it over to this school scene, which is why you’re seeing it as in zone 1. Just reset the zoom.

Or you can replace the @/zoom reset with @zoom on 0 0 to 100% in 0
