Audit Scene Function

Audit what the scene does, not whether it resembles a preferred formula.

A scene can be quiet, atmospheric, comic, exploratory, or reflective and still be functional. The target is unproductive narrative time, not low action.

Core Questions

For the supplied scene determine:

1. Why does this scene exist?
2. Who wants what during it?
3. What prevents immediate success?
4. What changes because the scene occurs?
5. What would be lost if the scene were removed?
