So you shouldn't feel the need to include secondary headings -- especially if you've already set things up (above the MONTAGE) with a master scene heading. Maybe you can just use a variation of the first example instead. Don’t forget, one of the joys of using a montage is the ability to short-hand things and save space.

As with everything, there is no best way. I tend to go with option three (subheadings or sluglines) to make the read easier. Too many additional scene headings or letters hamstring the read. Also leave some room for the director.. eg a scene in a theme park, I use: TACO STAND He stuffs two tacos down his throat at the same time. FERRIS WHEEL He clasps his stomach as he whirls round and round. RESTROOM He vomits his tacos into the bowl. The main scene is always: INT. THEME PARK - DAY This technique is also useful when describing different areas in a house such as kitchen, bedroom, dining room. Thanks. As with everything, there is no best way.
