Writing Exercise #10
This writing exercise asks you to reflect on and quote from your Five-Minute Scene.
Part 1: Use this space to explain what makes your scene dramatic rather than cinematic.
Review the assignment sheet if you need to be reminded of the difference.
Part 2: Use this space to copy and paste an example of a stage direction that is strictly visual.
You can also quote the surrounding line or lines of dialogue if they are needed for context.
Part 3: Use this space to copy and paste a few lines of dialogue that you feel do a good job of
conveying (without using explicit stage directions) the tone in which they are said.
