But what&#8217;s important is that it makes logical sense. Writing works in similar ways, but in multimedia we have to work in linear scenes. And each scene needs to logically follow the previous one. Our viewers can&#8217;t back up if they are confused, so we need to be clear. It DOESN&#8217;T mean we have to be dull, or boring, or predictable however. SURPRISE is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>I want you to listen to a radio piece, and then break it down into scenes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/themoth.org\/posts\/stories\/perfect-moments\" target=\"_blank\">Perfect Moments at TheMoth.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>*A word of warning, the story deals with some very personal and sad issues*<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you listen think about how he organizes the telling of the story and why.<\/p>\n<p>Email me a list of the scenes before class.
