LATENESS PART TWO: What's YOUR Dramatic Moment?!

1. The main character's name is Jay. He gets bullied and doesnt like it, but doesn't stand up for himself. He wants it to end but he doesn't stop it.
-Success: No more bullying
Failure: Even more bullying
2. The dramatic moment is short, but it's when Jay gets bullied after Gragg leaves and Karen is with him. He stands up for himself through remembering Gragg's words "stand up for yourself" He doesn't know what to do next so he runs, but he now knows he can at least stand up for himself. And he probably will.
3. All the characters fit, but some bad acting(no offense to anyone) sort of ruins things.

Task # 2 - Develop your Dramatic Moment-

1. Describe your main characters:

• what does he or she feel, need and want
• what's at stake for success or failure in their moment/ what are the consequences of success or failure and how could they reveal themselves in the story?

2. Describe their Dramatic Moment-

• detail the dramatic situation they find themselves in
• consider their actions
• what do they deny
• what do they conceal
• how do the ideas that preoccupy your characters impose themselves on the moment (subtext)
• outline each moment/action that reveals subtext

3. Does your casting, setting and production design reinforce their dramatic moment?
