PLAYWRITING – Day 22
· Show (with words), don’t tell.
· If I tell you that I’m bored, that’s a TELL STATEMENT.
o I’m bored. It was boring. It was really boring.
o It was so great. It was the best thing ever. I had the best time of my entire life.
§ These are tell statements.
o How do you show (and not tell) the same thing, with words?
§ Try it…
· SHOW boring (without using any form of the word “boring”)
· SHOW sad (without using any form of the word “sad”)
· Discussed subtext and how we all use it and can recognize it. We should have our characters use it as well.
o Can you say one thing and mean something else?
· Write down 10 actions/NO DIALOGUE that are linked to each other – a chain reaction - that SHOW that war is bad WITHOUT EVER MENTIONING THE IDEA with words.
o REMEMBER: a chain reaction of 10 actions is created when an act performed by one character causes another character to perform yet another action…etc.
