How to format a scene with multiple conversation in one space

Post Body

I've reached a scene in my current project that takes place at a house party with most of the principal characters in the same room, engaged in separate conversations.

I hope to direct this script one day, and I've pictured this scene as one long tracking shot that flows from group to group. The tracking shots in Boogie Nights are a big inspiration, where we stay with two characters briefly, then the camera tracks to another group having a completely different conversation, and then either shift to another pair or back to the first pair, but nobody has left the room because it's so big.

I don't want to get too into the weeds focusing on describing shots, I am working on additional material to address that, as my primary goal is for it to coherently flow together on the page without the input of a fledgling writer's "director brain," because I know certain people aren't particularly fond of that style of writing.
