Week Eight Notes
NOTES TIME!!
Dynamic action
Stories that you write are action
Story is action
-action is any kind of activity,movement,interaction of characters with their surroundings.
-talking about feelings is not as powerful as illustrating why you feel this way through your actions.
Better to do what they want rather than say what they want
Film is behaviour
Actions are simply manifestations of behaviour
Human emotions are understood by watching the actions and reactions of the characters.
Action is the visual element in a film. Very important!!! You can have a movie without dialogues but not without actions!
What is the purpose of dynamic action?
-add subtext-not explict, like what he is thinking or saying
mimesis
in short stories you cheat but in film you cant since its visual.
Eg apple pie reminds him of grandmother
So first show apple pie with grandma then later in present he sees it then his expression will show that he got a reminder etc…
Dynamic action has the potential to enrich the experience of the audience by building an emotional relationship between the characters and the audience.]
Improve for the audience ,creative way.
