Before i start i just want to say that i hate to say or to talk about exactly what happened in class , cs then i just feel like a robot! to say what film we watched and what sentences exactly we said!! then im a robot!! or a parrot.
Anyways in any screenplay there is a lot of scenes and in every scene there is actions(scene actions) . and in every scene there is units(beats) that they have their own actions(unit actions).
.what is a beat?
A beat is an emotional or psychological action of a character in a scene, so every time we have an emotional change we have a beat .
.why do we break each scene by scene?
each scene have a beginning, a middle and an end,and we do break it one by one to have a better understanding of the the whole story,characters,and actions so we can deliver it better to the audience.
.why should we know the beats, beat by beat?
so we can tell the story efficiently by knowing the characters well enough ;and what they are doing in this unit of this scene.
Link of this week
As usual after doing my researches for this week i discovered that there is something called a beat sheet that we should use, where we should state the locations, characters, conflicts,and twists of this story in this sheet ,to know more about it visit the link below:
I hope it all made sense to you, cs that's all for this week,,,,,,,,,,,,,Au revoir
Don't talk about what happened in class. Discuss what you learned, did you finally understand something you always suspected, but couldn't verbalise.
ReplyDeleteThis should be a forum for your personal journey of discovery, not specifically or only about directing.
Perhaps something said in class makes sense to you as a Writer or a Producer. It is open to interpretation.
Let me reiterate, I don't want you or your class mates to merely repeat or parrot back what I said in class. What's the point in that?
