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
