Hello. I know what has to happen in my scenes, but sometimes I fear that if only happens what it has to happen, the scene will feel incomplete and that the transition between scenes will not be smooth. Is anything besides what has to happen filler? Is any filler unnecessary? Any advice? Thank you!
No filler. Everything matters... like has been said. If your script is short, it's either a result of structure and not enough story OR not enough conflict. Usually both. Hopefully that points you in the right direction.
@@BigRedStripe Thanks for your answer. My story has a lot of conflict, but since it is a story of unrequited love, which can happen in any setting, I don't feel the need to make the characters interact with the enviroment that much, so I fear the reader will feel that the story happens in a void.
All three sound like really good writing hacks.

Everything in your screenplay is there for a purpose. "Filler" is not a valid purpose.
