Conceal & reveal characters(Audience engagement)
DIRECT:1) See the character's physical appearance. 2) See/hear the character's speech and behavior 3) See the reactions of other characters to the individual. 4.) Direct comment from narrator5.) Environment (externalisation)
INDIRECT:1) Personality action (how they act or respond to a situation) 2) How Others view them (opinion)3) Private thoughts (comparison, internalisation).4) Dialogue 5) Appearance Setting
Chaucer, 1343
Action/Reaction (pace is built through emotion)
A picture is worth a thousand words. One face = faster than dialogue.Two faces = faster than a scene of action
