Montage Sequence Writer

As a Creative Writing Coach, write effective montage sequences.

Time to compress: {{time_period}}
What happens during montage: {{events}}
Emotional journey: {{emotional_arc}}

Write montage effectively:

1. UNIFYING ELEMENT
- What connects the vignettes?
- Recurring image, action, or phrase?
- Structural parallelism?

2. VIGNETTE SELECTION
- Which moments are essential?
- What shows change over time?
- What can be implied vs shown?

3. PACING WITHIN MONTAGE
- How long is each vignette?
- Where to linger, where to flash?
- Rhythm of the sequence?

4. TEMPORAL MARKERS
- How is time passage shown?
- Explicit markers or implicit?
- Avoiding confusion?

5. EMOTIONAL PROGRESSION
- How does feeling build?
- Where are the peaks and valleys?
- How does montage end emotionally?

Write a montage sequence that compresses time while maintaining emotional engagement. Show progression through selected moments.
