Scene Plan

I run to scene plans. This is a genuine scene plan:

Time - Sunday am, the day of the St Therese vide grenier (jumble sale).
Weather - still bright with some cloud.
Place - Between the Delaney's house and the Mairie. Stalls set up to sell household junk. Clothes, household items like crockery, cutlery, implements like spades and garden forks, old computers, books.
People - Alison and Brian. Some of the local people like Agnes Garcia, to give the impression of a community.
Action - While Alison is talking to the neighbours, Brian walks round the vide grenier and finds an old brass carriage clock. He thinks it's old and buys it.
As he returns to the house, he meets Alison and talks to her about the chances of selling the clock and making money.
Alison is not necessarily against the idea but wary, since the collapse of the project to renovate the barns as a chambre d'hote.
This scene is in Brian's point of view. He's trying to come up with new ideas, some way of making money. His judgement may be clouded but he's neither drunk nor totally delusional.

I prefer the postmodern self-reflexive deconstructionist plots myself.

Dieter calls Heidi with an invitation.
Napoleon declares war on the Spanish
Heidi calls her literary agent
The giraffe dies
The detective surrounds Spain with "Do Not Cross" police tape
Dieter shouts "Cut!"
Napoleon applauds
The giraffe takes a bow.
