**The following list of scene types are not all, but the most common kinds of scenes found in screenplays today. And often times, a scene may be a combination of two or more scene types. ** **1. Setting** - Where are we? **2. Atmosphere/Mood** - What is it like there? 3. **Introduction** **-** Who is it we are dealing with here?
 * 4. Exposition** - Necessary information. Quick and Clever.
 * 5. Transition** - getting from one place to another. Fast.
 * 6. Preparation** - What will it take to prepare for the task at hand?
 * 7. Aftermath** - How does the character feel about what just happened?
 * 8. Investigation** - Gathering information.
 * 9. Revelation** - The reader/audience finds out something important.
 * 10. Recognition** - The character finds out something important.
 * 11. The Gift** - Using a prop with emotional investment and turning it into a weapon, emotional or otherwise.
 * 12. Escape** - The character is trying to get away, avoid, or hide.
 * 13. Pursuit** - The character is trying to follow, capture, or secure.
 * 14. Seduction** - Someone must convince someone else.
 * 15. Opposites** - Two characters from seemingly opposite poles are forced together.
 * 16. Reversal of Expectations** - A character expects a certain, very clear outcome, but another character surprises him, influencing him to reverse his intention and do something else - practically the opposite of what he planned to do.
 * 17. Unexpected Visitor** - Someone unexpected shows up. Problems arise.

 * Emotion**

More specifically a change in emotion, for example //trust to disgust// or //fear to anger//.

"There are three types of conflict: //character vs. character//, //character vs. circumstances//, and //character vs. self//." - [|Mark Mayerson]

Or //interpersonal//, //circumstantial//, and //intrapersonal//.
