About Scene Structure -1


As there is structure for a movie, there is a structure for a scene too. There are three parts to a scene.

1. Beginning (Hook)
2. Middle(Development)
3. End (Climax)

If these three are written perfectly, there is every chance that the scene is remembered for generations to come. It is important that Hook and Development scenes are written perfectly as they decide the scene run.
For example, 3 Idiots starting scene

Beginning( Hook) :

Madhavan is in a flight at Delhi Airport. He gets a phone call. He acts that he has chest pains and makes the flight stop before take off.

Middle(Development) :


Airport personnel want to take Madhavan to a nearby hospital. 
But Madhavan gets up immediately, says he is ok now and runs from there.

End( Climax) : 

Madhavan comes out from airport and rides a car. 
He calls his friend, Raju and the beginning of the next scene starts.
 It all runs in a flow without any missing links.
