I have a format question.

What do you do at the end of a page, where there is a voice-over and it needs to continue to the next page?

(The asterisks are there to show format)

Like:

BOBBY (VO)
***********MORE:

[Page Break]

BOBBY (CONT'D) (VO) [How do you do this?] or BOBBY (CONT'D, VO) or something else

At the end of the page and any dialog that still needs to be continued will usually have a (MORE) centered at the bottom, double-spaced after the last line of dialog. Then at the top of the succeeding page where the dialog continues like this:


BLANDINA (V.O.)
Memam wanted something from me, something I dreaded knowing. I looked into her pain red eyes and saw despair.

(MORE)This appears centered at the bottom of the page.

BLANDINA (V.O.) (CONT.)

What could she ask of me? What would I be able to do for her that she couldn't do for herself.

Okay, I thought the (MORE) was on the far right. Guess it's not. Thanks for telling me how to do this.
