Week 6

Topic of the Week
Actions 
(Scene + Unit)

Ok so this week we dealt with breaking the script down even more. and we try to do this by finding the BEAT in the script. now for all of you who don't know what a beat is, don't worry because neither did I. The BEAT of a story was a term made up by an amazing man, Stanislavski, who created a system for method acting, and directing.

Scene Actions:
the over all mood in the scene. eg. Chris is fuming about the accusation.

Unit Actions:
the small things in the script that change the actors acting. eg. Chris is fuming about the accusation. -> Chris decides to interrogate the accuser.
