DRAMA
This page is not yet complete. Only part of the first two plays and some of Your Humble Investigator have been added.
The plays were written for television and were originally prepared as TV film scripts. The scripts have been expanded here to make them more accessible to readers who do not, of course, have the benefit of seeing the live action, but some TV directions have been retained, principally where they assist in understanding the passage of time. Thus "MIX" conveys the information that some time has passed in the change from one scene to the next, while "CUT" informs the reader that the scenes are taking place simultaneously.
The following short glossary of technical terms may be of help.
FADE IN and FADE OUT – picture gradually appears and disappears
DISSOLVE – similar to “fade”, used between scenes
LAP DISSOLVE – fading in steps rather than smoothly
MIX – similar to dissolve; fading one image and bringing up another
CUT – instantaneous switching from one scene to another
TRACK – to move the camera backwards or forwards
SUPERIMPOSE – to overlay a scene with another scene or captions
PAN – to swivel the camera horizontally
