Chain of Thought Scene Construction

Walk me through constructing a pivotal scene step by step.

Scene Goal: {{scene_goal}}
Characters Present: {{characters}}
Location: {{location}}
Preceding Scene: {{context}}

Think through:

1. ENTRY POINT - Where do we enter this scene for maximum impact? Why?

2. POWER DYNAMICS - Who has power at the start? How will it shift?

3. OBSTACLE MAPPING - What stands between the protagonist and their goal? List internal and external obstacles.

4. BEAT BREAKDOWN - Map 5-7 beats with emotional shifts

5. EXIT STRATEGY - Where do we cut for best effect? What's left unresolved?

6. THE SCENE - Write it based on your analysis

7. REFLECTION - Did execution match intention? What adjustments needed?
