In this discussion with Author/Instructor/Speaker Jen Grisanti, she explains that a scene is a step toward the bigger picture, focusing on who wants what and what obstacles they face. She emphasizes that a good scene serves both the external plot and internal character development, and it should never lose sight of the character's wants, conflicts, and flaws. The scene should strategically advance the story, create personal connections, and be a part of the larger puzzle. The use of polarity and setting up scenes to lead into the next is also crucial. Additionally, time jumps should be carefully considered to ensure they align with the main plot and goals of the story.

Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - http://amzn.to/2dAercv
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - http://amzn.to/2dUWP8h
AUDIO
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - http://amzn.to/2dFuPZg
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - http://amzn.to/2dApDpp
