UNDERSTANDING STORY: Breaking Down the Script

CHAPTER 2 B | story: just 10 minutes of TWELVE HOURS of teaching from acting teacher MATTHEW HARRISON of the Actor's Foundry at www.actorsfoundryonline.com. Our job as actors is to surrender and serve the story. We must have a deep understanding of what narrative structure looks like in order to play the scene correctly. In this chapter, we will begin a visual graph of structure that we can reference and work from. There is a formula to understanding every script. Learn what is at a scene’s CORE (C-circumstances, O-objective, R-relationship, E-emotional truth), how to identify the theme, and why there are always two contrasting conversations (e.g. Money vs. Morality).
