What is needed to write a script or story?
Characters are the people portrayed by
 the actors in the play. It is the characters
who move the action, or plot, of the play
                  forward.
This is what happens in the play. Plot refers
   to the action; the basic storyline of the
                     play.
Refers to the meaning of the play. Theme is
    the main idea or lesson to be learned
  from the play. In some cases, the theme
  of a play is obvious; other times it is quite
                    subtle.
This refers to the words written by the
       playwright and spoken by the
  characters in the play. The dialogue
helps move the action of the play along.
Genre refers to the type of play. Some
      examples of different genres
include, comedy, tragedy, mystery and
              historical play
A playwright's success ultimately depends
  on his ability to create a character that
         an actor can "bring to life."
Dramatic structure involves the overall
   framework or method by which the
playwright uses to organize the dramatic
        material and or action.
The use of contrast in drama productions is
    a useful way to focus the audience's
  attention. A drama being played with no
     change of pace or rhythm doesn't
  usually hold our interest, but most can be
  brought to life with the use of contrasting
              sights and sounds
Dramas are produced to a great extent
    through the use of symbols - or
            representations
Who is the narrator of the play? Is it writer
   himself or the character introduces
            others in the play?
A script is a written words and directions of
                      a play
The story organization is how a story is told –
          the beginning, middle, end
The setting is where the action takes place
A long speech made by one person
The internal or external struggle between
  opposing forces, ideas, or interest that
          create dramatic tension
What is needed to produce a play?
This is the group of people who watch the
      play. Many playwrights and actors
    consider the audience to be the most
    important element of drama, as all of
  the effort put in to writing and producing
        a play is for the enjoyment of the
                     audience.
This refers to the visual elements of a play:
      sets, costumes, special effects, etc.
        Spectacle is everything that the
   audience sees as they watch the play.
Props are any article other than costumes
   or scenery used as part of a dramatic
                production.
 Sound is the effect an audience hears
  during a show.
 According to Aristotle Music and sound
  was referring to the rhythm of the actors'
  voices as they speak.
Make up is the use of costumes, wigs, body
   paintings to transform an actor into a
                  character.
Mood is the overall atmosphere and
   feeling of a play. Music, genre and
   audience are just a few of the sub-
elements of drama that contribute to the
             mood of a play.
What should the actors do on stage to
   make a character come alive?
Acting Is how speaking and moving help
           to create characters.
Non Verbal Expression includes
gestures, facial expressions, and
           movement
Speaking is vocal
expression, projection, speaking style
             and diction.
