A scene set in an inhospitable environment (outer space, underwater, etc.) A scene without people in it A scene with where a hat is important A scene set in a treehouse A scene where only one person talks.

scene prompts: A scene where one side has to leave in a hurry, the other must keep him there A scene where one side has a secret, the other must get it out A scene where one side has to break bad news to the other A scene where one side has found out the other side has betrayed him A scene where two people are speaking their last words Hosting an intervention A scene where someone has to deal with a life threatening situation, in order to get someone to trust him/her

A Heist scene maybe? or a scene that has an ensemble instead of just two characters, where the dynamics have to be shifted with a lot of strong characters playing on it.

Dig the inhospitable prompt.

These are gold. Very challenging and would produce useable content for future scripts.

Perhaps considering sensibilities the industry is looking for, i.e. female lead, female lead over 30, stories passing the Bechdel Test, The DuVernay test, Tent Pole concepts, under 5M indie concepts, etc., might be a realistic challenge that would ready us for the marketplace. Or, combining these ideas with Lior Shemesh's fantastic prompts as well. Thanks Scott for always keeping us sharp and committed to the craft! Love reading through everyone's posts during this challenge.

Excited to take part. Here are a few ideas. Dramatic irony - a scene where the audience knows something the characters don't. Dilemma - a character has to choose between two bad situations. Flaw - a character's flaw realizes they inadvertently harmed another character
