PLAYWRITING – Day 14

 

·         Return biographical sketches (and other graded work).

 

·         Post grades.

 

·         Discussed what it is that makes the audience care about a character and the outcome of a scene.

 

    • We decided that it is crucial that the audience be able to relate to the character.
    • First, we considered relating on the surface: gender, appearance, personality, interests, habits
    • Next, we considered sharing a VALUE with the character.
      • What is a value?
        • How to spend disposable income: save it, buy clothes, donate it, burn it, gamble it, restaurants…
      • If the audience could relate to the character on a VALUE level, perhaps the writer can get them to care about the outcome of a scene.
  • Created 5 possible scenarios for the 2 characters we wrote biographical sketches for.

 

PLAYWRITING homework:

None
