This editing tip will help you look at scenes in a new way. Instead of going with the traditional "Beginning", "Middle" & "End" concept consider a scene to be part of a bigger story arc where you are simply elevating the stakes and emotions of a story.
Whenever you end a scene on a full resolution you are deflating the emotions. The audience takes a deep breath and moves on to the next scene. Do you really want the audience to catch their breath and "check out"? Keep them engaged with this simple trick.
