Zoom Meeting 8 a.m:
Discussion: Project 1: Family of Characters
We will discuss Character Development and have a few Technical Demonstrations that will help you once you’ve developed the conceptual part of your narrative.
Questions to ask:
Who is part of your family?
What is their story – collectively and individually?
What unifies them and makes them unique?
Where do they live? What details can you add to the background that contribute to the storytelling part of this assignment?
What did they do before this scene and after? Is your narrative loud enough that we can “hear” it?
FEELINGS/ Emotional tone
