STAGING AND STORYTELLING
Interactions do more than just reveal
character; they are also the basis of all
stories. Stories are about how characters
react to situations they are placed in. Good
storytellers let the audience learn about
the characters through the situations
the characters face. But stories are more
than just what happened to whom, they
are also about how the stories are told.
It is the teller’s point of view, and insight
into the events that happened, that make
the story poignant and interesting.
DEVELOPED SETTINGS STRESS LOCATION
A more developed setting would emphasize the
importance of location to the scene while a basic backdrop
gives the figure in the scene a sense of place.
STAGING CAN CHANGE AN ENTIRE DRAWING
While the setting is the same in these two drawings,
the staging is different. One is about the setting while
the other is an intimate moment.
