# Overview
|
|
|
|
Purpose explains the work a scene is doing: setup, reveal, payoff, relationship movement, action, transition, character development or another story function.
|
|
|
|
Outcome records what is different by the end. The change can be external, emotional, informational or relational. If you cannot name the outcome, the scene may need sharper story movement.
