: Re: Multiple superimposed supers I'm trying to figure out the correct formatting for multiple supers for the intro of my film. I imagine four separate superimposed lines, one appears, then fades

I'm not sure it's in your best interest to specify that the movie should use multiple supers. Remember, a screenplay is just the blueprint for a movie. You only need to include the details the rest of the crew need to agree on to tell the story. Everything else can and should be left to the director and the rest of the filmmakers so that the final movie is the collaborative result of many people's creativity.

From this principle, you rarely specify how scenes should be shot, exactly how characters are dressed, or what music should be playing. Along the same lines, you can trust your fellow filmmakers to decide the best way to format your super. The only exception is if you have a strong justification for why showing each super one at a time is essential to the story, but it is exceedingly rare for a story to paint the medium to that degree.
