Set-piece

← Craft Glossary · Structure & Story

Plain English: A big, memorable, self-contained dramatic sequence — the chase, the collapsing tunnel, the flooded chamber. The "money shots" a cinematic adventure is built around.

In this project: Each relay node is a set-piece. There's a literal Set-Piece Ledger tracking every one. A stalled or over-explained set-piece is treated as a defect (see velocity).
