- Each scene should flow! Does it transition easily from the last scene and into the
next? Will it fit neatly into the whole? - Consider length. Is it too long? Does it repeat information that we already have?
Once in a while you may want to repeat important information that you think the
audience might have missed. - Is there enough conflict and action? Cut exposition. Show; don’t tell.
- Is the scene unpredictable with twists, turns, and reversals? Does it build to a climax?
Is there freshness in the way that the scene is portrayed? - Does the scene make us want to know what happens next?
- Is it entertaining, funny, emotional, or tension filled? Can you heighten these?
