I was wondering if someone could walk me through how to make it look like my character is texting. You know when you see the phone screen and it says 1 new message and then you see the text. I’ve already done the text message but I don’t know how to put it all together.
Thank you

INT. CELLPHONE - DAY
NARRATOR
NAME sent you a text message.
choice " Open Message" }
NARRATOR (CHARACTER’S NAMES)
Text text text
}

You can try the one above or this:

INT. BACKGROUND OF CHOICE with SELFIE FEMALE 1
NARRATOR
NAME sent you a text message.
choice " Open Message" }
NARRATOR (CHARACTER’S NAMES)
Text text text
}

In this part I want to say that if you want to use the second one, then you better check the overlays so you can find the matching one. If any misunderstanding, PM me
