Number of scenes.

How difficult is it to write a feature with one scene location? It will take place over a twenty-four hour period and have ext. and int. scenes. Would I be better off adding flashbacks or dream sequences? Off the top of my head the only one I can think of with minimal locations is The Shining.

I loved Deathtrap!! Caine, Reeve, and Dyan Cannon!!

Watch "My Dinner With Andre," "Same Time Next Year," and many others, and try reading some stage plays, like Neil Simon's, if you want to limit scenes and work within a budget...

Even in television. Remember Seinfeld's "The Chinese Restaurant"!

Tim, you might have to channel Shakespeare for this one.
