What does a slugline in a script describe?

• A. Camera angle
• B. Location and time of a scene
• C. Sound cue
• D. Character names

Answer: (B)

A slugline is a scene heading that tells where and when a scene happens. It usually starts with INT or EXT to show interior or exterior, then the location, and the time of day. This gives the production team a quick, practical sense of setting and schedule—for example, INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY means an interior shot in the coffee shop during daytime. It’s not about how the shot is filmed (camera angle), nor a sound cue, nor a list of character names—that information appears elsewhere in the script.
