: Re: Should you specify camera action in a film script? Some scripts I read specify the exact camera angle of every shot-- where the camera starts, what we see, how it will move during the scene.

You cannot write a script without visualizing what's happening, so I say add what you have in mind. I've seen it done both ways (especially in animation). If you plan to direct the feature it can't hurt to add every shot, since everything can be modified later, and will be if it's worth a damn. And personally, I wouldn't want to read a script with some visualization. It's a visual medium. Show me what you're thinking.
And to say that you can't call shots without being on the set is absurd. You think they only make story boards after being on set? Call the shots then stage accordingly.
Bottom line is: Do what you think is best for that story. The more information provided the better - you can delete things later...
