Class Summary

  • How is everyone doing?

Google Meet Orientation

  • Survey:
    • put up your hand if you have used Google Meet up before
    • phone versus desktop/laptop/tablet and differences
  • You can get controls if you download google meet and hangouts on your phone.  I don’t know if you can have the controls if you’re
  • Message (top right)

  • I will send out eClass announcements.
  • ANY QUESTIONS?Z

 

Objectives

  • Analyze a famous scene from a movie we all know well
  • Given circumstances: Obi Wan Kenobi is off trying to shut down the
    • What does Luke need Han (and the others) to do?
    • What does Han need Luke to do
  • Phrasing is important
    • I need X to Y so I can Z
    • need vs. want
    • Always include the other person so that we’re interacting
    • Always phrase it as an effect. something the other person will do, because this ensures tenacious action rather than casual action, action like you care, rather than action that lets you off the hook
  • In class work time (notes to R&J)

 

Verb and Driving Assignment

Part C: just the beats specified

Part D: the whole scene

  • I blank you
  • Don’t use verbs that don’t actually impact on the other person
  • Don’t use verbs that describe what you’re doing independent of the other person (do they need to be there for you to do it?)
  • Don’t use emotional verbs
    • Paint by numbers vs. Painting in the moment
    • High School vs. advanced action
    • emotions that are planned and ersatz vs, emotions that are spontaneous, uncontrolled, come out of action and therefore vibrate with humanity and are so much more interesting to watch (but remember, that’s not primarily what we’re watching for: it’s not interesting to watch someone feel – it’s interesting to watch something happen).
