Looks good to me, although the CUT TO: is not necessary and it would likely read smoother without them.

Hi there. I’m having a problem alternating between a character and the POV of an innate subject; a pipe. It is important to the story that the pipe reads as a character. And I wish to go back and forth. It goes something like this:


EXT. WASTE DUMP -  DAY

A MAN is running across a bare-dirt field littered with domestic waste. He constantly looks behind him without stopping. His BREATHING is tense. An almighty industrial GROAN is heard, distracting his attention. He trips and falls flat onto the ground.

CUT TO:


WASTE PIPE POV

The waste pipe walls are black with moisture. The waste land is shimmering in the heat. The remains of the GROAN subside. The MAN’s head pops up. His face is dusted in dirt. He looks around him, then back into the pipe.

CUT TO:


EXT. WASTE DUMP -  DAY

A all-terrain vehicle flies in from behind a mound of trash. The MAN is still crouched. He looks to the vehicle, then to the PIPE.

CUT TO:


WASTE PIPE POV

… etc

Maybe this is correct. I would appreciate your comments. Cheers, dappa
