    What I learned rewriting my sci-fi scene is that having the audience witness, along with my protagonist, the existence and extent of her superpowers made the scene more entertaining.

    Week 2 Day 4: Character Reveal #1: Spider Man

    Scene: “Peter vs Flash”

    Peter Parker finds out he has special powers.

    Objective: Create a scene that reveals something unique about one of your lead characters through action and situation.

    What I learned rewriting my scene:

    · The character reveal scene should be focused on the character being revealed. Sounds easy, but I have a lot to learn.

    · The character reveal can be an enhanced reveal when the hero is compared to a competent opponent.

    · Creativity adds color and depth to the character’s reveal.

    I am still working on my character’s reveal.

    I feel like I say the same thing but…. Less dialogue and more showing. There was 3 minutes with not a long of dialogue but so much happened that moved the story forward. The audience understood was happening and it provided a smooth transition to pushing the story without explanation.

    When we have a character that surprises us with unexpected behavior or traits, it’s more interesting and entertaining if we can show it through their actions rather than dialogue. In fact the less dialogue, the better.
