no13 WRITING THE DIALOGUE

DIALOGUES help tell your story. know your story & character(s) before writing the dialogue!

tip1: write dialogue that is suitable for the character/personality. 

tip2: write only necessary info to tell your story. KEEP IT SIMPLE > SHORT SENTENCES. 

tip3: listen to the dialogues on good tv shows & listen to how people talk in real life.


CLASS/GROUP EXERCISE: WRITING DIALOGUES
below are videos. mute them and write the script for the scenes. give your script a suitable title & write a 1 sentence summary about your script.

 


look at examples below... (pls ignore swear language!)
TELLING STORIES WITH ONE FOCUSED KEY MESSAGE: same scenes, different story!!

1. Hitler's water bottle is stolen and thrown at Justin Bieber


2. Hitler is informed that he is Lee Kuan Yew


3. Hitler is informed Santa Claus doesn't exist

4. Hitler defies gravity



ok, use the same hitler scene and come up with your own scripts! 
plz do NOT use swear language.
