This document discusses dialogue in various contexts. It defines dialogue as a conversation between two or more characters that is used in stories, movies, plays and other fictional works to advance the plot and develop characters. Dialogue can be inner dialogue, where a character speaks to themselves, or outer dialogue involving simple conversations between characters. Effective dialogue should be brief, avoid exposition, give characters unique voices, remain consistent with their personalities, create suspense, honor the relationship between speakers and show rather than tell emotions and information. Writers are advised to give each speaker their own paragraph and make clear who is talking. Dialogue works best when used purposefully to move the story forward.
2. A written composition in which two
or more persons are represented as
conversing or reasoning on some
topic; as, the Dialogues of Plato.
A dialogue is a negotiation, talks,
and discussion intended to produce an
agreement.
A dialogue is useful tool for
developing your characters and
moving your plot forward. Dialogue
can help you establish the back
story, and it can reveal important
plot details that the reader may not
know about yet.
In story, movie, or play, the things that are
said by the characters, a literary technique in
which writers employ two or more
characters to be engaged in conversation
with one another.
Dialogue is one
of the key
elements of
fiction. Without
it, there is no
story.
3. It is not possible to reproduce it
like that in drama. The playwright
imagines these feelings and ideas,
put them together in a more
condensed form.
Dialogue is designed in a way that it
must be heard and understood by the
audience.
Dialogue is communication or
discussion between people or groups
of people such as governments or
political parties.
Dialogue is highly specialized form of
conversation that is designed to suit various
contexts and modes of drama. It’s not
exactly everyday conversation where we
adjust style to suit the occasion and the
personalities we are discussing with.
Stephen King
says dialogue
“brings
characters to
life through
their speech”
(163).
5. Types of Dialogue
•INNER DIALOGUE
In inner dialogue,
the characters speak
to themselves and
reveal their
personalities. To use
inner dialogue,
writers employ
literary techniques
like stream of
consciousness or
dramatic monologue.
•Outer dialogue
Outer dialogue is
a simple
conversation
between two
characters, used
in almost all
types of fictional
works.
7. •KEEP IT BRIEF
Dialogue
shouldn’t go over
for pages and
pages.
•Avoid small talk
Never waste your
dialogue with
small talk.
•Don’t info dump
You shouldn’t use
it to dump a whole
lot of information
on the reader.
•Give you characters a unique way of
speaking
Just like every person
you know, you will
have a unique way of
speaking and
delivering their
thoughts.
•Be consistent
Remember to be
consistent with
your characters.
•Create suspense
Use dialogue to
increase the
suspense between
characters.
•Honor the relatioship
Characters tend to
speak differently
based on who
they’re speaking
to.
•Show, don’t tell
It’s easy to start
“telling” what the
characters are
feeling instead of
showing it.

Editor's Notes
Dialogue means that two or more people are talking to each other and giving their reasoning on some topic. For short. It is a conversation.
Like definition number one, it is negotiation, talks. To make an agreement. Yan po ang dialogue
Dialogue is very useful tool because it helps us to express our feelings.
In a diallogue po, there should have two persons or more are involve.
so, without a dialogue. A story or novel or text is boring. Because dialogue ang nagbibigay ng kulay.
So in dialogue. You should put in feelings when you deliver your dialogue po.
You should know what you are talking about for the readers na maintindihan nila yung flow of the story and what are you talking about
This is the type of dialogue that is just you are talking only to your inner self or should we say na nasa isip lang natin ito.
so this is the type of dialogue that is really used in stories or novel or drama. Because it is a conversational.
When you’re making a dialogue it should not page by page na yung tipong sa whole page ay dialogue lahat kasi it would be boring
2. you should not put only “okay’ or ‘bye” kasi it makes the conversation boring. You put sense in your dialogue
You should always put sense sa story and the dialogue na ginawa mo…………………dungagi nlng ninyog explanation guys!!!!!!
When delivering your dialogue, you shoukd deliver it yourself and not follow the expressions or feelings of your clssmatess or co actors.
Like plot, like climax you should put suspense sa mga conversation for the people to support your story.
You should know the ones you are talking. For example if you are talking to a child. You should be calm and the dialogue you made was understanble by kid, yung naiinitindihan because nakapende yan sa relation na mo sa kausap mo.
Hindi yung sinasabi mo lang ang lines mo, you should put feelings on it.
Put the “she said” or “he said” for the audience to identify the conversation.
It should sound real, it should connects to your action when you are delivering a dialogue or lines.
You should put a dialogue on purpose, hindi yung you just put it just to complete your paper. IT’S A BIG NO NO.
Just like what I’ve said in number one the reader should know who is talking in the dialogue like “ana said” or “she said” or “ The president said"
