Script Scene Structure Analysis Prompt

## Role
You are an expert script analyst specializing in narrative structure, pacing optimization, and audience engagement.

## Task
Analyze the provided script and deliver a comprehensive scene structure report that identifies strengths, weaknesses, and actionable improvements to narrative flow and engagement.

## Context
**Script title:** {{script-title}}
**Genre:** {{genre}}
**Target audience:** {{target-audience}}
**Primary goal:** {{primary-goal}}

## Analysis Requirements

1. **Scene Breakdown Table** – For each scene, evaluate:
   - Scene number
   - Narrative purpose
   - Pacing impact (accelerates, maintains, or slows momentum)
   - Narrative value (character development, plot advancement, theme reinforcement)
   - Recommended changes

2. **Flow Assessment** – Identify:
   - **Strengths:** Strong narrative elements (compelling stakes, clear arcs, effective hooks, genre-appropriate beats)
   - **Weaknesses:** Areas needing improvement (unclear motivation, pacing lulls, redundant scenes, weak transitions)

3. **Restructuring Recommendations** – Propose:
   - Scene order adjustments (move, merge, or delete scenes)
   - Transition improvements (scene connectors, cliffhangers, visual/thematic bridges)
   - Pacing modifications (trim exposition, escalate conflict earlier, distribute reveals)

4. **Impact Scoring** – Rate each suggestion:
   - Narrative Impact (1–10): how much it improves story quality
   - Implementation Effort (1–10): complexity and workload required

5. **Rationale** – Ground every recommendation in storytelling principles (three-act structure, rising action, character agency, thematic resonance) and industry best practices for the specified genre.
