“In the Bedroom” Writing Challenge
From Screenwriters Toolkit
Two people are in bed. A siren or alarm is heard. Or the phone rings. Or a doorbell.
WRITE THE SCENE.
Ask yourself:
- Who are these people
- Who are they to each other?
- What are the immediate circumstances?
- How does the alarm affect them?
- What do they do?
- Are they at cross-purposes? How so?
Place ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances or extraordinary people in ordinary circumstances.
