It begins like a monoscene: a suggestion is given by the audience, and a scene then commences that cannot be sweep-edited. Once this scene has been established, however, the use of tag edits is permitted to explore short tangential games or scenes. Each of these tangents is eventually sweep edited, which returns the action to the source scene. These tangents can be thought of as the “petals” extending out from the source scene. In this way, Pretty Flower is a Monoscene in chapters, periodically broken up by short montages.
The tangent sections often lend themselves to faster, goofier play through tag runs or character games. The source scene is a counterbalance to this, as it is commonly taught as a more grounded, slow-moving section of the show.
It will be fun.
