The Expanded Scene Breakdown is a 20 to 40+ page point by point, step by step, scene by scene outline of the entire screenplay in prose form using dialogue, character development, action, etc. It's an essential way to see the entire movie before you reach the screenplay stage. You might get some ideas for how to utilize this technique in other writing tasks. The article isn't long, is easy to read, and there are links to other useful articles as well.
