: Re: Can you specify camera angles in your screenplay? So I guess camera action is up to the director. Would I ever be allowed to pan if it is important? Would I not be able to pick certain

The current fashion in screenwriting is to avoid mentions of camera angles and focus on storytelling, but you can certainly mention POV. Some people do this with a slugline.

INT. BEDROOMâ€”DAY

BILL'S POV

Bill fixes his hair in the mirror.

But if you're going to do the trick where a mirror image turns out to be the real one, you don't need to mention POV at first.

INT. BEDROOMâ€”DAY

Bill smiles.

BILL
You mean everything to me. Everything.
I love you, and I'd do anything for you.

A WIDER ANGLE shows Bill is talking into the bathroom mirror.

As a general rule, write it whatever way it works best for a reader. This is more important than making the details clear for a director (who will ignore it anyway).
