1916 practice (Sargent, Ch. XLI): two forms. The frame (straight, 'true') vision was a small second image inside the scene made by double exposure; the fade vision is a separate full-frame scene faded down and up, joined at splicing. He prefers the frame form for a person's thought and small effects, and the fade form for narrative visions with new facts that need a full stage; he says current practice favours the fade form for the director's convenience. Script form differs: the frame vision is one inline phrase 'VISION of ... — fades'; the fade vision takes three numbered entries ending 'Back to No. N', with a NOTE on the original scene if it is reused. Worked examples are invented scripts.
