I was told you should never include camera direction unless it is absolutely necessary to get that part of the story across. Directors don't like being told what to do.

BTW, I was also told that you should try to be a little on the vague side in your character descriptions so you don't limit who they are able to cast in the role too much, and miss out on really phenomenal talent. So unless your story is dependent on a character being 5'9-1/2", have blond hair, green eyes, and a cleft chin, don't be that specific.

No camera directions. Shots are written into the shooting script. You are the writer and the lowest in the chain of command next to the Production Assistant, who brings Coffee to the director after each take and pampers the stars.

(During the filming of Invincible, which was nearly 100 degrees that day, I watched as the Production Assistant spritzed Mark Whalberg with a spray bottle and patted his head with a towel. Exciting job.)

However, I've seen plenty of transitions included in the script, but mainly as a distinction between scenes without tags.

Character description depends on the importance of the character reflecting a specific appearance. I wouldn't go so much for eye color or hair styles, but build and manner of dress are important.

Your leads are going to be two gorgeous Hollywood bombshells, your comic relief a bit on the goofy side, and your supporting cast a mix of primpy A-Lists and average looking character actors.

But this is Hollywood. It obviously differs in independant film. This is just through my personal experience in the film industry.
