Locations - moving your characters around and making your plot more exciting

Time-space rule or jump cut? CAN THE SAME CHARACTER BE IN THE FOLLOWING SCENE IN ANOTHER LOCATION - A LEAP IN TIME AND SPACE?

Where? IN THE LIFEWORLD (REALISM)

Two sorts of locations for scenes. Private (homes) and public (inside & outside).

PRIVATE - AT HOME: Single and shared bedroom, shared livingroom and shared kitchen, garden etc.

PUBLIC - OUTSIDE: Street, outside supermarket, mall, outside church, mountain, seaside, car park, etc.

PUBLIC - INSIDE: Shared spaces - bar, restaurant, classroom, factory, mall, etc.

Shared inside and outside spaces are great - such as university or school campus.

LIST ALL LOCATIONS YOU CAN THINK OF - FOR SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT. It's a good example of pooled knowledge.

Often a scene problem can be solved by moving the action elsewhere. And so you stop the 'stand-and-deliver' acting.

Where? GENRES - SCI-FI, THRILLER (ACROSS WORLDS)
