Creative Exercise:

What’s the weather in your most important scenes? Does it reinforce or contrast the tone and thematic underpinnings of the scenes’ events? Could you bolster any of these scenes by altering the weather?

 

Something to Think About:

1. What emotion or mindset does the protagonist have at the beginning of the scene?

 

2. What emotion or mindset does he have at the end of the scene?

 

3. How has the character’s emotion evolved over the course of the scene?

 

4. What is the primary emotion in this scene?

 

5. Do the primary emotions vary from scene to scene to avoid repetition and to gain thematic depth?
