We did an exercise today about interpretation-- the way we interpret ideas, stimuli, and the tone of a scene. We were given picture-- 4 that we got to choose from-- and from one picture, we had to come up with characters, dialogue, and an entire plot for a skit.
Most of the skits were hilarious, and some were really deep. Especially the trial scene. Like the crucible. They had this freeze frame idea where they stopped the scene in order to hear separate testimonies from each person.
**USE THAT IN ANOTHER SCRIPT, HINT HINT**
But I really enjoyed it... Because it showed me the power of the SCENE and the depth that can be seen in a character just from one glance, one moment. So much can be understood from that single expression, or from the formation of a stage picture. And this exercise, whether it was intentional or not, helped me learn that.
