When writing a play, do you have to change the scene every time the setting changes? for example, if a character was in one setting, in which was scene 1, and then moved to a different set, like they changed the set and the lights went black for the transition, would that have to be a scene change? even if it was extremely short? Kinda like: Scene 1 scene is in classroom of students, teacher walks in TEACHER hello students, how are you? CLASS good TEACHER oh, I need my coffee teacher leaves class, scene changes to break room where teacher gets coffee so that's my example. would that technically be two scenes? like should I have said Scene 2 whenever the setting changed? please help, thank you!
My first concern here is why you even have that incredibly brief first scene, one that presumably called for desks and several costumed actors, etc., etc. Why not start in the coffee room? But it sounds like you're asking mostly a formatting question, and there I don't know the answer.
You accidentally quoted your words as if they were mine, up there. Would you mind fixing that? (Editing your post and killing all quote tags should do it.) Not sure why, but it makes me twitchy.
Imperfect, but... Scene 1 scene is in classroom of students, teacher walks in TEACHER hello students, how are you? CLASS SWAT 1 good TEACHER oh, I need my coffee Scene 2 Staffroom TEACHER I hate that kid. And where's my coffee?
