CHAPTER 03

Creative scene card

On this page

This is the compact view of the scene packet. Both use the same scene ID/version; expand the active record rather than keeping duplicate decisions.

Project / scene ID, version, owner and brief/canon versions:
Purpose: what must the audience understand or feel differently by the end?
Incoming state → change → outgoing state:
Key relationship before → choice/reaction → relationship after (where relevant):
Narrative choice/consequence OR advertising problem/proof/action:

Creative pass Record one concrete decision
Writing Observable beat, spoken words, subtext and information withheld/revealed
Direction Playable behaviour, reaction, silence and audience point of attention
Art Story-bearing space, object, costume or product detail; controlling reference
Light/camera Motivated light, framing, movement and what these make us notice
Sound Dialogue, ambience, effects, music or intentional silence; entry/exit tails
Edit Why the cut occurs; coverage, usable handles and next-shot connection

Shot IDs and reference/source permission records:
Smallest useful test, expected evidence, cost/attempt ceiling and fallback:
Expand SCENE_PACKET only for relevant technical decisions.

Review the actual result

For the first or last shot, mark the absent neighbour inapplicable and review the opening or ending instead. Unheard audio and unviewed joins remain unverified. Acceptance does not authorize spending or publication.
