It can be. A good example is the airport scene from Captain America: Civil War. That scene transcended the movie and everyone talked about how it was the one of the greatest comic book movie moments of all time. The opening scene to Dark Knight also comes to mind.

Some things I've learnt along the way: 1 The scene must have a strong narrative purpose which is necessary to the story and which moves the story forward. 2 Try to give your scenes multiple purposes. If you can include more than one thing in a scene, do it. This can often be achieved by combining two scenes into one. 3 Make sure you put your scenes in the order which best serves the story. 4 If the story works fine without the scene, get rid of it. 5 Begin the scene as late as possible and end it as early as possible. 6 Select the characters and location/locations which best serve the scene. 7 Try to include some kind of conflict between the characters in every scene that you write.

Drama relies on emotional plotlines rather than action plot and so it's much harder to write drama. Genre stories are more straightforward because the action plot dictates the scenes and the direction they follow. The emotional plotline is present but it too depends largely on the action and is generally not in the foreground. The issue with drama is it generally requires star actors to draw an audience - which means a proper budget. Genre films rely on their concepts and don't need star actors and so often require more modest budgets.

What is the last thing layered into a scene in post? Music, right? Scores tell the story on an emotional level over the scene, right? Music tells us how to feel (picture a sting when a villain is revealed, etc). So, maybe the first thing a writer should establish is the emotion of the scene. Them everything else can map to it 😊

Loved the suggestions on this video! R.J. Daniel Hanna's 3 Rules For Writing A Great Scene are really practical and relatable. I'm definitely going to try incorporating them into my own writing. Thanks for sharing your expertise, R.J.! And I'm definitely curious to watch 'Hard Miles' now
