In a narration, describe the scene or action before the narrative, then begin the narration, breaking occasionally to change the description or direction.
Improvise. There are no hard and fast rules here. Another method would be to use two columns in the scene, column A is the direction or description of the action, Columm B would be the voice over narrative.
** It might help to storyboard the scene and add it in much in the way highly technical FX scenes are less written than described or shown in storyboards or other methods.
In the end, improvise. http://screenwriting.about.com/arts/screenwriting/library/tutorial/bl_tutorialstyle1.htm?rnk=r2&terms=Creative+Screenwriting
Try this link for a pretty good start and some more help. I downloaded a few nice demo's to help with my script writing (Beware, the downloads are 10 megs or so, and the software costs over a hundred each. But DLs are free.)
Hope this helps you some.

I didn't know if there was a hard and fast rule like there is with the rest of formating.
