Episode notes
Turning Point Forces The Crisis
- The turning point is the final complication that flips the scene's value and raises the crisis question.
- It forces the character from action into an unavoidable decision.
Crisis, Climax, Then Resolution
- The crisis frames a scene as a question (best-bad choice or irreconcilable goods).
- The climax is the character's answer and the resolution shows the consequences.
Create Clear Value Shifts In Scenes
- Ensure scenes show a clear value shift, even if it's positive-to-more-positive or negative-to-more-negative.
- Alternate scene valences to avoid unrealistic string-of-disaster pacing.
