What's the same, you can think of a script as a chain, a story chain, which are made of links that are unique, but they're all connected. These links are seen. And they're like glue episodes within the script the same five elements of story, predicament solution plan, obstacles, consequences, stakes, all that stuff that makes drama. Scenes contained drama in scenes allow the college progress by forming characters trying to get what they need and what they want. A script usually has a big drama that takes place over a period of time in different locations. A scene is a little link of little drama that happens during a chunk of time in a specific place.
You can create scenes by taking the overall goal of the characters and divided them into smaller goals needed to reach the big goal. And if there are smaller goals, then there's got to be little predicaments little solutions. Rule plans, obstacles, and even the consequences stakes are moving to scenes that have that create drama. And that keeps the audience engaged, I think remember is that a scene constantly moves the story forward. It has to do that because a film has to have momentum to zoom along to an effective and memorable ending. If you create your scenes, make sure that they are relevant to the entire story.
And you have to make sure that they contain actions that makes sense for the character. So show characters getting something or getting information that prompts a change of action. You need that in every scene. And always remember that the scenes have to move to move the plot and move the story. So you only have an hour and a half max if a script is a feature. That means you have to create scenes that are the audience to get into the scene late and get out early.
So no dog when I use this info and please don't have characters just info dump and mansplain Otherwise, your script won't flow. And it won't hold the audience's attention. So during each thing you create have to ask yourself, What do my characters want at this time? And why? And if they fail to get what they want, then what's going to happen? When you answer those questions, then you can see when your character meets a goal.
It's new info, it's a new character, and more misses up, it should connect to the next link of your story. So that leads us to structure and that's where we're going to cover next
