In Sargent's 1916 Technique of the Photoplay, Chapter XXXVI 'Inserts', what is an insert, who makes it, and how does the writer mark it in the script?
1916 practice (Sargent, a US trade manual for silent photoplays): an insert is matter photographed separately by the studio's title or leader room and cut into a scene, so it does not split the scene. The author writes only the text and a script marker ('On screen' or 'Insert', in the margin or underscored), does not number it, and does not supply paper, forms or letterheads. Sargent says some studios ignore detail directions but the author should still give them.
