OBJECTIVES
| SCENE OBJECTIVE: What the character is trying to achieve in a section
of dialogue or a scene. Actor must ask (as character) 'What do I want?' |
| The SCENE OBJECTIVE carries the character through this particular
scene. Also something that the character must achieve in that scene. |
| There is only one SCENE OBJECTIVE for each character in each scene. |
| That OBJECTIVE may or may not be achieved in that particular scene
- frequently not. |
| The character will be opposed by the OBSTACLE - resists the efforts
of the character to achieve the OBJECTIVE. |
SUPER OBJECTIVE: The overall OBJECTIVE that carries the character through
the whole play.
