  1. Dialogue is kinda action
    Action is the charctor.
    So flesh oust your characters first
    Subtext ie intentions
    Use it to express conflict
    Dialogue revolves around common ideas, it shouldn't be forced
    The best dialogue come outta drama and also creates it

    Learn about the characters leading to a dramatic builup

    Builds until it's last mega punch

    Know when to speak and when to speek

    Why am i taking notes

  2. This is really good. Keep up the good work.

    Also, there could be a more on the nose video about this topic. This is a bit abstract. There could be a video just saying what dialogue does directly.

  3. Excellent essay. Dialogue is action, character and exposition. It's action because characters communicate to act or interact with the world and each other. It's character because good dialogue can take you into the soul of the character in ways not necessarily apparent through the action. In fact, with good dialogue you know who's speaking without having to look at the character prompt. Dialogue is also expository, telling you what you need to know, but can't tell just from the action in the scene. It replaces you (in a conversation), the narrator (in a book) or the deus ex machina (in a play). Instead of a single God-like narrator, omniscience is reflected through the utterances of the characters. Done badly, it takes over and the characters merely become explainers, to the detriment of plot and character. On-the-nose dialogue kills subtext and mystery. If stories break down into acts, which break down into scenes, which break down into beats of action and dialogue, every line of dialogue should be creating conflict or resolving it.

  4. I'm really curious if it's even possible to make an actually good movie without any dialogue…maybe with a bit of monologue, but basically leaving it all up to the acting (without words) and the set and setting and all the other things in movie making that you talk about on this channel. What are your thoughts on this? Because I think it could be possible, but I'm not certain how…

    P.s. Yes, I realise silent movies are a thing, but I'm thinking would it be possible to make something very serious and profound in our day and age, without any use of speech (except maybe some monologue).

  5. I disagree with the idea that conversations that don't go anywhere don't belong in film. Just play VA-11 Hall-A, which for me is the best game of all time, one of the reasons being its utterly realistic dialogue.

  6. woo, this video is really friendly to an English Learner, like me, in a very appropriate speaking speed, not so fast. really nice, I can hear almost all of things, even some names.

  7. I disagree with that Independence Day clip being the "wrong" way to do it. That strikes me very much like something a father would say to his son. He's been thinking about it for a long time, but it's only just bubbled up enough for him to mention it.

  8. Can you please please please do an analysis of The Wire? I just rewatched it and….wow. Not a single second is wasted. Everything contributes without necessarily building. It crafts a combination of drama and reality, without making either seem too much. Please please please do The Wire, especially season 1 and 4. It's like the Hunter Thompson of TV.

  9. Man you just opened my brain and fed me all the right information. I was looking exactly for something like this. I think I know how to go about writing dialogues for my story now!
