You are right Explanation: loc. means voice over (narrator), while off means off-screen. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2011-12-08 13:10:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I misunderstood you earlier. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 mins (2011-12-08 13:17:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I can't tell you for sure but I have seen scripts with V.O. (OS) or V.O. (off) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 mins (2011-12-08 13:22:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would say the most common thing to see is simply V.O. and V.O. (O.S.) when off-screen. |

OC / (off) Explanation: In the TV and film industries, the usual equivalent to Loc. off is 'OC', meaning 'off camera'. 'voice' is understood, since'OC' is associated with a particular line of dialogue in the script. It is also very common to simply put '(off)' - in () so it won't be mistaken as part of the spoken text. VO (voice off) and OS (off stage) are used in the theatre context. |
