What did we think of the movie version we watched? How did we answer the journal prompt?
Review 2.1
What’s the subtext?
1. Acting is an interpretation. We reflect with inflection and body language the thoughts we imagine our characters to be having.
SUBTEXT: What’s underneath the dialogue, the motives of the characters; the thoughts and emotions that the character is having as they speak.
2. To determine subtext, consider….
- the context (what other lines occur around them?)
- what the character wants in this particular scene
- what the character’s ultimate objective is
- what obstacles prevent the character from achieving his goals?
- what are the character’s feelings about what is happening?
Finish Scene 2.1 with attention to subtext and inflection
