Very helpful. I would just like to know how can I get that foggy/misty color in the scene. I’ve been looking everywhere and don’t know if it’s an effect, camera lens or has to do with the lightning.

Comment on Screenwriting: Tension Building Techniques – Part 1 by Holliday Vann

Staff at LFS: As a fiction writer, I tend to study writing techniques from a variety of schools of thought. Once a scene or chapter is written, reviewing these techniques is a great way to open the writer’s eyes to how a decent scene/chapter can be made great by deepening conflict, tension, characterizations, etc. The “Play on Innocence” technique was very effective in “Fried Green Tomatoes,” i.e. when the boy “encountered” the train.
