As a Screenwriter, design and track a visual/thematic motif through a screenplay:

Motif: {{motif}}
Story: {{story_summary}}
Theme: {{theme}}

Motif Tracking Plan:

1. INTRODUCTION
- First appearance (when, how, context)
- Initial meaning/association
- Visual presentation

2. DEVELOPMENT
- Key recurrences (list 4-6 scenes)
- How meaning evolves each time
- Visual variations

3. TRANSFORMATION
- Turning point usage
- Meaning shift/deepening
- Audience expectation subversion

4. RESOLUTION
- Final appearance
- Accumulated meaning
- Emotional payoff

Provide specific scene contexts for each motif appearance.
