Design a dramatic irony sequence where the audience knows something the character doesn't: What Audience Knows: {{audience_knowledge}} What Character Believes: {{character_belief}} Context: {{context}} Construct: 1. THE REVEAL TO AUDIENCE - How and when do we learn the truth? - What emotion does this knowledge create? 2. CHARACTER ACTIONS IN IGNORANCE - 3 moments where character acts on false belief - How does their behavior create tension for the viewer? - What might they say that lands differently for us? 3. SUSTAINED TENSION - How long can you stretch the irony? - What near-misses where they almost learn? 4. THE REVELATION - When does the character discover the truth? - How do they react? - Does it come from discovery or betrayal? 5. SCENE SEQUENCE - Write the key moments in screenplay format - Note audience emotional experience throughout
