Play Analysis: Proposed Directing Approach

Video Transcript

"And Roman numeral seven is proposed directing approach, and this, you may be asked to turn this analysis in to someone whether it's a professor or a design team or a producer, and that is one of the reasons that you want to write down your directing approach, but also I think it's really good for you the director to write it down on paper. Get it out of your head so you can see it in black and white what it is you're planning to do. I'm planning to use all the elements of the play. I'm planning to use the chorus like a Greek chorus. I'm planning to have a minimal set. I'm planning, you know what is it that you are planning to do? What are you proposing? If I am the producer and I'm giving you the money to do this show. If I am your design team and I'm going to be designing the show. In a page, page and a half, write down what you want. How you see this work executed. What you want to see visually on stage. We talked about all the analytical part. Now, what are you going to show us? How are you going to make this play come to life? And again, if you're an actor you don't have to worry about section seven, but if you are directing and you are a director you want to spend a lot of time thinking about your approach."
