- how to construct scene:
- note: when i say scene, i don't mean a scene from sheets. like, uhh, the flow of events... ish. each part can take several scenes, or a scene can hold severals parts of this.
- the flow goes from
- Goal > Conflict > Disaster > Reaction > Dilemma > Decision
- Goal: set up the goal for the scene
- Conflict: set up something that prevents (You) from getting that goal
- Disaster: don't just give (You) the goal immediately, give some failures or something
- Reaction: take some time to process this failure, ehh you can skip this or not
- Dilemma: the hero faces a choice. choices help create character for your characters (???).
- Decision: your character makes a choice, thus giving them a new goal (maybe, or just reinforcing something who knows). Then you loop back to the first part. most scenes in fictions simply follow this flow. i mean, you can apply it in slice of life stuff as well.
- Goal: i want to go eat ice cream with my friends
- Conflict: aiiiiee my friends are all busy leaving me alone
- Disaster: i try to go alone... but the ice cream closed it's so over...
- Reaction: I feel sad, and sit alone in the park. some onee-san comes close and comfort me i don't know
- Dilemma: do i give up on my dream to have ice cream with my friends, or do i keep moving forward
- Decision: yeah, i'm having ice cream . how? we make our own ice cream in my house, let's gooooo
- Goal: have ice cream with my friends this weekend
- Conflict: making sure my classmates' schedules are good to go, and i have money to buy ingredients
- Disaster: i managed to line up everyone's sched, but i'm outta cash nooooooo it's so over bros....
- Reaction: i cry and sit alone in the park. some onee-san comes close and comforts me again
- Dilemma: do i give up on the dream or do i keep moving forward?
- Decision: i sacrifice my "upgrade my pc to something amazing" funds to make this ice cream date a success!
- Goal: the weekend is here! now is the time to make the ice cream party a success
- Conflict: oh shit oh fuck we don't know how to make ice cream
- Disaster: we search online and we manage to get something going, but oh noooo we run out of ingredients due to our fuck up
- Reaction: No onee-san to comfort you now
- Dilemma: do we accept having a few ice cream, or do we try to experiment to have more ice cream?
- Decision: we accept to have a few ice cream while sharing it, and we learn the lesson that more than the food, what's important is that we're together and having fun.
