Hey so I know I kind of did a blog like this a few weeks ago
but that was a very small portion of it so I want to get more into it this time
around. So for the next few blogs I am going to be going over play writing just
different points of it. The first part I am going to talk about is your Beginning
with your plot, setting and characters.
First off you need to know the plot of your play, this can literally
be anything. Your plot can range from a serious plot like a broken family trying
to come back together, or very comical like a horrible bank robbery. The main
is trying to figure out what genre of play you want to write, and how serious
you want it to be. The other main thing you need to do with plot is just
getting your ideas down anywhere, so that if you get stuck you have ideas to
fall back on.
The second thing you need to have many ideas about is your
setting. Now I know you are most likely thinking that, “oh setting is really
easy, everyone knows how to do that”, and technically you wouldn’t be wrong but
you also wouldn’t be fully right either. See when it comes to plot you have to
think about more than just the location. You also have to think about the time
period, the time of day, how specific the location has to be, and etc. Now for
some plays I know you can get away with just doing a very basic setting but you
still should go into a little more depth with location.
And now finally characters. I know I have done many, many
blogs about characters but this will hopefully be the last blog for a while
that talks about them, but the reason I bring them up is because they are so
important. See without ideas for your characters you really don’t have a
character. Now if you want to know how to make characters go down a few blogs
and you will find some of my ideas for them.
Well that is all I have on the topic of your beginning. Next
on the list we move onto how to enhance your plot ideas.
