Text, Context and Subtext

 Text Context and Subtext:

Notes for the previous treatment


Text: the given circumstances of the presented story (aka straight facts)

On the nose dialog (reinforces what we see (usually unnecessary) 


Context: Given circumstances bring meaning to the story (situations in a scene, that is only fully understood withing the scene it is meant to be place in.





Subtext: How meaning is created outside the given circumstances (by what is not said or shown)

- We make assumptions about a character/situation based on the facts given to us 
- Brain wiggles filling in the empty lines
- Subtext takes advantage of what a person already knows to fill in the blanks themselves without directly stating it
- makes the audience think



Change from web series;

Why am i changing, i have the option of a pilot which I am already doing for another class and a short film, im probably just gonna go for the short film and bull shit it,
My mental health is just crumbling apart and I can't keep up with what I originaly intedded, idk why, I dont have time to figure anything out, 

too much I dont understand so Im just gonna have to scrape the barrel to pass while trying not to have another mental breakdown.

this isn't a creative decision im just breaking.

The Pilot I want to create will, be unlikely to be at the beginning of the story as that will not yet be the status Quo of my web series, I want to make sure to, figure out what that status Quo is, and focus the Pilot episode around that and the shenanigans that can go down within each episode. ' Most pilots fall into the category of the  Welcome Episode  or  Everyone Meets Everyone' Appearances are often different in comparison to the Pilot to the Actual Show Testing the character appeal and showing the theme of the show The 5th character of the group is the Mascot of the group and self proclaimed guide of the afterlife Demon has a grudge against them?  I've seen ones that can go between 1 minute to 7 What is the Hook or Premise of the Story (W...

GD701_Studio-Project - World and Characters

World Building: This is not necessarily Christian based there is no God or Satan, given that various religions can explore the concept of Heaven and Hell, there are no Rulers of each Place, places from different religions might be a part of each place, such as the Jade palace from Chinese culture may show in the Heavens while a place like Tartarus might show in the Hells  The Heavens: The dwelling place of the gods, spirits and Saints The Canopy The Forest  The Roots These three places are where most souls end up, neither good nor evil, a neutral plane, the canopy and roots are closer to the heavens and hells and are host to more dangerous creatures, not that the forest itself is stranger to such. The Hells: The Dwelling place of Demons devils and the corrupt  The Characters: The 5 stages are traits not their base personality, I do want them all to have lasting trauma of their deaths, I need my audience to latch onto them,  1: Eli (Bargaining) White Male (24) Kind Jo...
