CHECK homework: Q’s 1 - 42

· Watched Charlie Chaplin shorts for inspiration:

NOTES: (excerpts from The Art & Craft of Playwriting – (J. Hatcher)

· Drama does not examine human beings in repose, at leisure. Drama examines human beings in extremes. Under pressure. In trouble. Within conflict.

· If you want to find out what a person is made of, put that person under pressure.

· Good playwrights remember: “Always keep your hero in trouble.”

· Discussed final projects (silent movies) and post test

FINAL SILENT FILM: Choose a protagonist (GOOD) and antagonist (BAD) archetype. Also choose one of the journeys (1-25) for your protagonist (GOOD).

Possible downloads (iTunes) – Magisto app or Silent Film Studio app (both FREE)

For inspiration, we watched a silent film winner from http://www.makesilentfilm.com/
