To create a scene that&#8217;s true to life, he says, you must create realistic beats. To do this, McKee recommends that you place your characters in a situation, then <strong>dive deep into your imagination to discover what you believe each character would authentically be thinking and feeling in that situation.<\/strong> Write down what action that character would honestly take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, to make sure each beat advances your story, examine your scene objectively and <strong>imagine what could realistically happen that is the <\/strong><strong><em>opposite of what your protagonist expects<\/em><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Write this down, then return to the protagonist\u2019s point of view and imagine their next move. Repeat until you reach a value change that marks the end of the scene. McKee asserts that this repeated oscillation between subjective and objective points of view is the key to writing compelling scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>McKee\u2019s Process Fits the Way We Think<\/strong><br><br>McKee\u2019s scene-writing process makes sense when you consider how our brains work. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/a-mind-for-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>A Mind for Numbers<\/em><\/a>, Barbara Oakley explains that throughout the day, your brain naturally switches between two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/modes-of-thinking\/\">modes of thinking<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/focused-thinking\/\">focused-mode thinking<\/a>, when you concentrate on executing a logical task; and diffuse-mode thinking, when you relax and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-let-your-mind-wander\/\">let your mind wander<\/a>. Oakley claims that the most effective way to solve a problem is to <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/a-mind-for-numbers\/part-1#alternate-between-thinking-modes-to-solve-difficult-problems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">alternate between these two modes<\/a>, taking a break from an intense logical task whenever you feel like you\u2019re getting stuck.<br><br>Arguably, McKee\u2019s scene-writing process is effective in part because it forces you to constantly switch between these two modes of thought. It\u2019s primarily a diffuse-mode activity\u2014you imagine what it would feel like to be someone else and record whatever feels natural. Then, you switch to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/attention-in-learning\/\">focused mode<\/a> and determine what the next unexpected story beat could be. Because you\u2019re constantly switching into diffuse mode, where it feels like there are no wrong answers, you\u2019ll be less likely to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/stuck-in-life\/\">feel stuck<\/a> than if you were to constantly be racking your brain for the next logical plot event.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you&#8217;re writing a script, how do you come up with compelling scenes?
