May 4

1.  Let's watch this:  The Many Voices of Meryl Street
    While this video focuses on vocal expression, I would like you to also study her body language.
    When you build a character, you need to also think about physical development as well.

 2.  Script writing
      Before you write the script for your "Mexican Soap Opera" pilot,  there are a few things you need  to know and do.
      a.  Brainstorm
      b.  Write a plot idea and the basics of an outline of the script.  Remember that you are writing a tragedy. But what exactly is a tragedy and what should I include in my plot ideas. Click here for information that can help.
            For an example of scrip writing follow this link:http://www.storiestogrowby.com/scripts/contest_body.html
      c.  Develop a relationship map (who's who, and how is everyone related?)
