Week 8!

I feel that the use of dialogues is a ’short cut’ of telling a story and it will always be more interesting to watch an action instead of a dialogue. (For example: Mr. Bean! Although it is a comedy but it shows that actions are interesting.) However, dialogues can be appropriate at certain times. For example, I feel that putting in alot of effort to illustrate something not important in the film is a waste of time!

Story is action
-action is any kind of activity, movement, interaction of characters with their surroundings
-talking about feelings is not as powerful as illustrating why you feel this way through your actions.

Film is behaviour
-Actions are simply the manifestations of behaviour.
-Human emotion are understood by watching the actions and reactions of the characters.

Action speaks louder than words
Words are Less interesting.

Dynamic action
-has the potential to enrich the experience of the audience by building an emotional relationship btw the characters and the audience.
