Emotional phases are the newest... technology that I'm testing out with my scriptwriting.
It's a layer of structural planning that happens above the 20 sentence outline.
It's breaking the script down into seven or eight big emotional phases; movements (or acts) that I want the audience to feel.
I suspect they are usually in conjunction with how the main character is feeling.
Inspired by some quotes by members of Team Whedon.

Talk about the first act of The Incredible Hulk.
Bruce Banner is under incredible pressure, living in a highly stressful situation.
Everything in his immediate environment is working to make him angry.
This creates a tension in the viewer - can he hold it together?
Provide an example.
