• 00:01 - 00:01

  Hello, everyone.

• 00:03 - 00:07

  Let me update you regarding the stories you have made.

• 00:08 - 00:10

  So most of you were able to share it correctly,

• 00:11 - 00:13

  but still waiting for the others.

• 00:15 - 00:19

  Right? So for today we will be talking about features

• 00:20 - 00:25

  off a place stripped before we proceed to the features.

• 00:26 - 00:29

  Let's talk about the meaning off the word play script.

• 00:31 - 00:33

  So when we talk about place, script it, Issa read

• 00:33 - 00:38

  inversion off a play used by actors to prepare and

• 00:38 - 00:39

  rehearse for a performance.

• 00:47 - 00:49

  So the first feature is all about characters list.

• 00:51 - 00:52

  Take a look at the one inside a box.

• 00:54 - 00:58

  So these are the characters in the story, Alice in

• 00:58 - 00:59

  Wonderland to us.

• 00:59 - 01:03

  You know this we have at lease the Mad Hatter

• 01:04 - 01:04

  hair and in the dormouse.

• 01:05 - 01:08

  So these are the characters in the story.

• 01:09 - 01:12

  So at the beginning of a place for it, you'll

• 01:12 - 01:15

  find a least off all the characters that are in

• 01:16 - 01:16

  the play.

• 01:17 - 01:20

  So this basically helps anyone who wants to perform the

• 01:20 - 01:24

  play. No, How many actors day me?

• 01:27 - 01:30

  So in this case, we only have four characters.

• 01:32 - 01:36

  Sometimes they will have a short description with them.

• 01:36 - 01:39

  So, for example, I'm going to read Alice.

• 01:40 - 01:43

  Alice is the main character, a young girl who is

• 01:44 - 01:47

  lost in Wonderland, and she has a great imagination.

• 01:48 - 01:52

  So these tells people what the characters are like before

• 01:52 - 01:53

  reading the place.

• 01:54 - 01:56

  At least you do have an idea already.

• 01:57 - 02:05

  Who? Alice ISS Next scene number title and set being

• 02:05 - 02:08

  description. So for incense, they could look at the one

• 02:08 - 02:09

  inside a box.

• 02:10 - 02:12

  So scene seven, a mad tea party.

• 02:13 - 02:17

  So the mad Hatter, dormouse and hair are sitting at

• 02:17 - 02:22

  a table having afternoon d so like seams.

• 02:22 - 02:23

  Seven Ahmad Bey party.

• 02:24 - 02:27

  So it's a bit like chapters or parts in a

• 02:28 - 02:31

  book. So the sections of a scrip are broken down

• 02:31 - 02:32

  into scenes.

• 02:33 - 02:35

  So you just have to remember that a new scene

• 02:36 - 02:37

  usually means a new setting.

• 02:38 - 02:40

  So as well we discussed.

• 02:41 - 02:44

  Ah, when we talk about setting these, this is actually

• 02:45 - 02:49

  please. Ah, where the story Thanks, please.

• 02:52 - 02:54

  Then the green one just after the seed number and

• 02:54 - 02:56

  Pipo is a short description off the stepping.

• 02:57 - 03:00

  So these tells you what the stage looks like.

• 03:01 - 03:04

  So this place trip is not only about characters who

• 03:05 - 03:06

  are going to say something off course.

• 03:07 - 03:14

  This is also about stage layout, Stage formation How the

• 03:14 - 03:15

  stage we look like.

• 03:15 - 03:20

  So over here we are going to talk about the

• 03:20 - 03:21

  mad Hatter.

• 03:22 - 03:25

  Dormouse and hair are sitting at a table having afternoon

• 03:26 - 03:31

  tea. But the scene needs to look like that.

• 03:34 - 03:37

  Next is the speaker's name, Carlin and dialogue.

• 03:38 - 03:40

  So in this case, they could look at the one

• 03:40 - 03:40

  inside a box.

• 03:41 - 03:45

  So the character's name, East Queen of Hearts.

• 03:47 - 03:50

  Then take a look at the two small dots right

• 03:50 - 03:50

  after the name.

• 03:51 - 03:56

  So that that one in the street, the name of

• 03:56 - 03:59

  the character who is speaking, goes on the left, mainly

• 04:00 - 04:02

  on the left side, off the the paper.

• 04:03 - 04:06

  All right, then, right after the name off the character,

• 04:08 - 04:09

  there should be a color.

• 04:10 - 04:14

  So I call on always comes after the name, then

• 04:14 - 04:16

  right after the name and the Kahlan.

• 04:17 - 04:22

  There's a line here that says guards get her off

• 04:22 - 04:24

  with her head off with her head.

• 04:25 - 04:27

  So after the colony is the dialogue.

• 04:27 - 04:30

  So when we talk about by along, this is basically

• 04:31 - 04:33

  the words that character says.

• 04:34 - 04:41

  Okay, so, normally there there are no inverted commas over

• 04:41 - 04:42

  here. There are no speech marks.

• 04:43 - 04:47

  Okay? So How is this different writing speech in a

• 04:47 - 04:50

  story. If you're right, a speech in a story you

• 04:51 - 04:52

  must use speech marks.

• 04:52 - 04:54

  But in this place creep.

• 04:54 - 04:56

  You don't need speech marks or you don't need inverted

• 04:57 - 05:03

  commas. Next is the stage directions.

• 05:05 - 05:10

  So, for example, a white rabbit so anxiously whilst rushing

• 05:11 - 05:15

  across the stage, So this one was inside the bracket,

• 05:16 - 05:19

  so words in brackets are stage directions.

• 05:21 - 05:26

  These are instructions to the doctors so they know what

• 05:26 - 05:28

  their character should be doing.

• 05:28 - 05:31

  So over here it means that white rabbit should look

• 05:31 - 05:38

  like this, the one inside a bracket before the character

• 05:38 - 05:42

  says, This line I'm late, I'm late.

• 05:43 - 05:46

  Then Ali is inside this bracket.

• 05:47 - 05:48

  It says they're confused.

• 05:49 - 05:51

  Don't then a talking rabbit.

• 05:52 - 05:53

  It can't be so.

• 05:54 - 05:58

  Sometimes they tell the actor how to say their words.

• 05:59 - 06:02

  So the actors here don't say the stage directions, so

• 06:03 - 06:06

  it means that the one inside the brackets, the actors

• 06:07 - 06:08

  need to act it out.

• 06:08 - 06:13

  But they are not supposed to say the one inside

• 06:13 - 06:21

  of brackets, then that next east generators.

• 06:24 - 06:28

  So over here, Narrator or so, let me read that

• 06:28 - 06:31

  part. At least found herself in a strange room.

• 06:33 - 06:34

  Inside was a small table.

• 06:36 - 06:41

  On top of it sat a small, peculiar looking bottle

• 06:42 - 06:43

  with a label on.

• 06:45 - 06:48

  So some place have an aerator to help set the

• 06:48 - 06:49

  scene for the audience.

• 06:50 - 06:54

  But lots of place don't to a normally no Rick

• 06:54 - 06:59

  Door is the one who is going to set the

• 06:59 - 07:00

  scene for the audience.

• 07:00 - 07:05

  Audience is the one who's goingto watch the play, and

• 07:06 - 07:10

  the one inside the bracket is a stage direction so

• 07:10 - 07:13

  he can be given to any character, not just the

• 07:13 - 07:13

  one speaking.

• 07:14 - 07:16

  So they are always repent in present tense.

• 07:17 - 07:20

  So looks ghost studies.

• 07:24 - 07:28

  Okay, so let's go back to the different features off

• 07:28 - 07:29

  a play script.

• 07:30 - 07:39

  Remember, we have the characters list we need to have

• 07:39 - 07:48

  seen number title and stepping description speakers name Colin and

• 07:48 - 07:58

  dialogue. These are also very important stage directions and narrators.

• 08:04 - 08:10

  All right, so for today, see, I have here a

• 08:10 - 08:11

  sock puppet.

• 08:12 - 08:15

  These goes or these looks like this.

• 08:15 - 08:18

  So you just have to put your hands inside and

• 08:18 - 08:23

  you can use it to do it this way.

• 08:25 - 08:31

  Yeah. So your passport today issue are going to make

• 08:32 - 08:34

  or you're going to create your own sock puppets.

• 08:35 - 08:35

  Crawford a pop.

• 08:35 - 08:36

  It's based from our story.

• 08:37 - 08:38

  The enormous crackle.

• 08:38 - 08:45

  Now, Okay, so see on page 11 for all our

• 08:46 - 08:47

  hard a Cambridge book.

• 08:48 - 08:51

  So there is the enormous Crocodile place.

• 08:51 - 08:52

  Keep over there.

• 08:52 - 08:53

  There are two characters.

• 08:54 - 08:55

  One is the enormous crocodile.

• 08:56 - 08:58

  And then the other one is the not so big

• 08:59 - 09:02

  one. So before we do that, before we read it

• 09:03 - 09:06

  properly, you are going to come up with your own

• 09:07 - 09:10

  sock Crawford out, puppets you are going to have.

• 09:10 - 09:14

  You are going to make one enormous crocodile and one

• 09:15 - 09:16

  for the not so big one.

• 09:16 - 09:20

  And these will look like they see what I what

• 09:20 - 09:20

  I did here.

• 09:21 - 09:24

  So I used my old sock, a pair of socks,

• 09:25 - 09:26

  Action E over there.

• 09:26 - 09:27

  And then I use papers.

• 09:30 - 09:34

  Then I use papers for the eyes.

• 09:34 - 09:36

  You can also use googly eyes if you If you

• 09:36 - 09:42

  do have it at home, please make sure also that

• 09:42 - 09:45

  if you don't have it, you can either use papers

• 09:46 - 09:46

  or cotton balls.

• 09:49 - 09:54

  Then you can use different color papers over here.

• 09:55 - 09:59

  Okay, so you are going to use our two English

• 09:59 - 10:03

  periods in creating and making your own sock puppets like

• 10:03 - 10:07

  this. Okay, you have to enjoy doing this.

• 10:07 - 10:10

  And later on, we will be talking about and normals

• 10:11 - 10:12

  crocodile place create.

• 10:13 - 10:15

  Also remember the different features.

• 10:16 - 10:16

  Off place, grip.

• 10:17 - 10:19

  We will try to find it out in our story.

• 10:20 - 10:22

  The enormous drop of that.

• 10:23 - 10:28

  Okay. Thank you and and die my, my.
