Breaking a script # 3


After last weeks class i drew a  line on my left hand side of my book and i wrote next to it scene action  and on the right hand side i drew a line wrote next to it  unit action , but i really didn't  know what to write in them. i kew that i have to write the scene in the first one, easy , but what about the second one how do i know the units exactly ?

This week's lesson made so much sense, because of the exercise we did in class,  of corse practise makes everything easier.

So every time we have a psychological change we have a beat , and sometimes the scene action and the unit action can be the same.

i always thought , i cant wait until we start learning on set , how we deal with actors, hods etc… until last week when i saw how important to break down a script , where you see the  full objectives of the actor
: super,overall, scene and unit , you break down the scene action and unit action .

the way you break it is important , cs  it is the way you see it , which is the way you are going to deliver it to actors  , ACTORS CAN'T ACT AN ESSAY! i think it is pinned in my head now from the amount of times that our lecturer said it ,use active verbs and not passive.
but really think about it , how would an actor act conflicted, sad or annoyed?



That's all for this week ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Au revoir
