Every scene should have a **beginning**, **middle**, and **end**. Write dialogue of three characters without attributions to gain a better understanding of their speech patterns and personalities through dialogue. The pyramid of abstraction. Lower is better / usually. #### Storage --- ## **ACTS** 3-4 scenes per act Theme: ? | ACT 0 | ACT 1 | ACT 2 | ACT 3 | ACT 4 | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **TEASER** (Usually a snippet of the Third Bullet point (A Call to Action et cetera…)) | **Intro Main Character** (Day to Day life.
