ACTING CLASS - 26 Sep 18






Yesterday, we were with Sharon McKevitt and a famous theatre company called PapaTango. We were given an objective to write a script that's ten pages long. But before, we discussed the structure of a script. A script is meant to be 5 acts and in each act is a dramatic situation.

  1. EXPOSITION/SET-UP
  2. BUILD UP
  3. CLIMAX
  4. CONSEQUENCE
  5. RESOLUTION
We also talked about what a script itself should have.

  1. CHARACTERS
  2. SCENES
  3. STAGE DIRECTIONS
  4. ACTS
  5. DIALOGUE
  6. BEATS, PAUSES & SILENCES
The build-up is when David is incredibly furious at Jason when Jason tells David that he will speak in public and tell everyone the magical phenomenon. David physically abuses Jason.

The climax/dilemma is David kills Jason

The consequence is when David goes insane and is full of guilt.

The resolution is when David realises that what Jason was doing is for a good cause. David decides to tell the public himself as the Mayor of London. But as punishment for murder, he was tortured for 25 hours.
