MONTAGE

French for “assembly” used in a screenplay, in caps, when a character performs a series of connected actions, usually MOS, often time-lapsed in a single location. e.g. One clichéd montage shows a character deciding what to wear trying on a variety of outfits. A montage is similar to a Series of Shots. Whichever you decide to use, be consistent. Love your reader. See MOS.
