StudioBinder allows you to format montages in your screenplay to depict a series of short scenes that convey the passage of time or a progression of events. Properly formatting montages enhances narrative flow and provides clear guidance for production planning.

A montage consists of a series of short scenes or shots, which means there will usually be a new location setting and camera setup that will need to be planned. To start a montage begin with a sub-header (BEGIN MONTAGE:), formatted as a General from the toolbar above the script, followed by scene headings for each new location. A new sub-header (END MONTAGE.) brings us back.

Begin the montage with a sub-header labeled BEGIN MONTAGE: and conclude it with END MONTAGE.. Each scene within the montage should have its own scene heading.

If the montage takes place in a single location, you can write it within a scene without separate scene headings. Describe the series of actions in short paragraphs to convey the progression.
