Scene Development
Making a scene is as easy as ABCD – Action, Background, Conflict & Decision
MAKING A SCENE – In this class you’ll learn how to frame each scene of your story. The power of a scene is derived from the slightly claustrophobic feeling you get when you focus on the characters. Your characters seem trapped on camera, unable to leave, forcing them to face the main issue in that scene.
A GOOD SCENE – Reveals information that moves the story forward (new goals, old secrets, hidden motives). Shows conflict between characters (adds tension). Deepens the character’s development. Creates suspense (Introduces a new wrinkle that leaves the reader hanging).
