The Story Within the Story: Scene Construction
Scene construction, revision, and the art of making moments land.
A story is only as strong as its scenes. In our final session, we’ll zoom in on scene construction, learning how to shape individual beats with clarity, emotion, and narrative weight. We’ll break down compelling scenes from film and literature before applying those techniques to our own work.
What you’ll do:
Learn how to craft dynamic scenes with clear beginnings, middles, and ends.
Analyze film and literary scenes for structure, tension, and subtext.
Experiment with rewriting scenes from different perspectives.
Develop strategies for revising and reworking key moments in your story.
