MODULE 8 – LESSON 1 – DIALOGUE STRUCTURES
MY VISION – To write cutting edge, unique, human, soul-inspiring, Oscar-winning scripts that have commercial success and producers line up to buy to make into multi-million dollar movies. Which makes me a Force in the Hollywood Entertainment industry -as a writer, actor, producer, and director.
What have I learned doing this assignment – It was a novel idea to realize dialogue has a structure similar to action, and its main reason is for a constant expression of character and engaging banter with a climax, beginning, middle, and end. This makes me think of it totally differently. I’m afraid I too often use it to ‘tell’ things and to sneak some exposition in. So I must totally re-examine a lot of my dialogue. But I did some kinda rad things with some of the dialogue structures. I felt I already had enough Setup-Major Twist Dialogues, especially the Open. So I did the others. Sometimes I wonder if you can go too far, though in over-tweaking, but it was fun and kind of cool going to extremes with the Opposite Meanings in Dialogue that I used in one scene, and a Deeper Layer Opposes Dialogue in another, and also Sub text in another. I went far out. But I may reel it back in during a later draft. Still, it was fun!
