HOW TO:  Build the Set

Every scene takes place somewhere.

What's the immediate environment?  What's the greater environment?  How do the environments complicate or reflect the situation?

What props are at hand?  What do they give the characters to do?  How do the props complicate or reflect the situation?

Since the scene has to be somewhere, you might as well make it work for you.
