Where, when, and who are the three primary components of scene-setting in a script. For example:
{{quote|''INT. WOLFRAM & HART - HALLWAY (where)- MORNING (when)
ON ILLYRIA (who)...''}}
Words like these in a script suggest to a director what is important about the scene,
Note that
{{quote|'' INT. RACQUETBALL COURT - EVENING
CLOSE ON a white wall for an instant...''}}
This helps the audience understand a change of scene by emphasizing the ''where'' of the scene. A quick visual transition to the ''who'' in the new setting is mandatory, unless the place is more interesting than the people.
Beseech the deity of your choice for mercy, O Writer, [[Eight Deadly Words|if the places are more important than the people]].
