LESSON 16 – An Index Card Board for Planning Scenes
This page can be used to keep track of scene ideas. Every film will have its own distinct structure, scenes per act, and total number of major scenes. This is
not a template to exactly write your film – but just a useful tool to track scene ideas and figure out where they might go in the bigger picture.
