The Most Important Person in a Conversation Isn’t Always Talking

Description

Comment “SCENE” if you want to get better at cutting scripted conversations.

Show the person speaking, and the audience focuses on the information.

Show the person listening, and the audience feels the emotional impact of that information.

Who you show during a conversation changes what the scene is about.

Sometimes the most powerful cut is away from the person delivering the line—and onto the character who has to absorb it.
