Class 9/3

To clear your mind and get into character:

• Lie on left side
• Close eyes and picture your favorite color filling up the space
• Then imagine yourself floating up in a bubble away from everything
• Imagine your favorite song filling up the bubble- getting louder and fuller as you float down
• Imagine your bubble going back down to Earth and setting you down in your fetal position
• Then think about your character in that position- become your character and slowly sit up as your character (physically and mentally)

When figuring out a character:

• Come up with your story first
• "Beat up" script
• Write down your first thourhgs- mark it up good
• Relate yourself to the character
