When using Cut To: in your script, should it be used every time you transition from scene to scene even if it is in the same setting. I feel like it takes up a lot of room in the script and disrupts flow. Might be silly but wanted to inquire.

This all makes sense. It just didn't look right at all. Thanks for your help!!
Use 'CUT TO' only to draw special attention to the edit. It provides emphasis, but overuse will look amateur. As others have pointed out -- most of the time it's just redundant.
What Jon said: use CUT TO: when you want to call attention to the change in location (usually when it might be confusing to a reader). CUT TO: between every scene was never done (I have scripts from the 1940s and they don't do it).
Thanks! For whatever reason I think there was a default and for transitions I had been using CUT TO even within the same scene. Went back through my scripts and made sure that they were necessary. Thanks again!
