LESSON XIV.
Telegrams, Letters, etc.
The above are to answer the same purpose as leaders and subtitles and are used to explain different points in your story.
Do not use telegrams, letters or newspaper articles unless they are absolutely necessary in the working out of the plot. They detract from the action of the various scenes, and the audience becomes wearied when they are obliged to do too much reading on the screens.
Letters and telegrams should be as concise and condensed as you can make them. It is only necessary to show the portion of the letter required to convey the meaning and make your story clear.
