I want to use something like V.O. or O.S to indicate my character is in a shadow, what should I do? I like what the Wachowskis did in the [Matrix](http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/the_matrix.pdf), which is a major influence for me. Would readers throw it in the trash bin automatically if I did the following? (I know the below formatting is awful, but I'm only concerned about the bold portions). > Bruce (Left Shadow) > > ...dialog here ... > > Vince (Right Shadow) > > ...dialog here ... (and later in the script after they come out of the shadows) > Bruce > > ...dialog here ... > > Vince > > ...dialog here ... Thanks! John
