The Art of Scene Craft

"A scene is a story in miniature. Master the scene, master the story."

What Is a Scene?

A scene is a unit of story that occurs in:

• One location (or continuous movement)
• One time period (or continuous time)
• With change happening

If nothing changes, it's not a scene—it's a description.
