The New 6 Weeks and Upcoming Spring Break

Well, welcome back from the 3 day weekend.

Last week, we finished up looking at Objectives and Obstacles. Today, we looked at setting the stage with designing a basic set to accentuate our obstacles and help us "liven" up the scene and create tension and make it interesting. Now, the pitfalls that we looked at today: sitting, stand still, and low-intensity scenes.

With the addition of creating a set, we began to talk about movement and making sure that we are motivating all movements by tying them to our objectives and make sure that we are overcoming obstacles.

In the next class, we are going to look at solidifying these ideas of motivated movement, and we are going to look at different ways of overcoming obstacles with different tactics. We will look at extending that "I want to..." phrase of the objective into doing something with it...active verbs, and playable actions!

See you in the next class, get those play summaries done, due before Spring Break!
