In his book "Bambi vs. Godzilla: On the Nature, Purpose, and Practice of the Movie Business," playwright and movie director David Mamet offers the following three questions as "the long lost secret of the Incas."
1) Who wants what from whom?
2) What happens if they don't get it?
3) Why now?
For every successful scene, a writer must know the answer to these three questions (and convey it to the audience.)
