Imagine "Doctor Who". Before the credits roll is always the initial stage. I imagine his audience at this point - in a hurry to leave, almost wearing a jacket in the pub waiting for their friends. And now, knowing that your audience is now, maybe going on a date with some beauty - how not to give him to wear a coat, put his hand into the second sleeve? What scene is it going to stop? "Doctor Who" the difficulty is that killing someone a monster or an alien fortress under stormy skies will not help here, because in "Doctor Who" it all the time. Here in other serials both scenes work easily, you will think, seeing this: "Damn it, this week in "Call the midwife“ something new!".
And what to do in "Doctor Who"? No idea, think for yourself. But remember that a few seconds will start the screen saver, and all have seen, and the pub awaits spectators beauty. That isn't writing, it's a WAR - you need to prevent the audience to leave and find happiness. Their attention you have attracted, and now it needs to hold. This can happen in a scene before the credits roll, forcing them to sit for a minute and see the beginning? Just to see what's going on?
Now, when you sat still on their sofa, how to get them to stay on it? It was the rest of the story - just as the viewer takes a step to the door, give him a new plot twist, a funny joke or a dramatic moment that changes everything. Their love waiting for them in the pub - don't let them find her. Here's what you need to do, and to hell with the three-act structure. Each replica is an EMERGENCY!
