A production requires several experts who handle specific elements at the request of the director. The CAPS are specific to help those experts do their task. All props and foley sounds are in caps so the prop director and sound engineer are are alert to their task. CAPs are also used to introduce a new character (though only the first time they appear) and at times to emphasize a certain action. Again, they are not to be used as a mere gesture to emphasize a word, but rather have a very specific purpose JOHN runs in the room and pulls a GUN, he pull the trigger twice to no avail, then finally a SHOT rings out ( this is only correct if John had just appeared in the script for the first time)
