Lit 7 - Thursday, 3/25 - Drama vocab test on costuming - flash-pot:
Costuming: The way the characters are dressed. Can be used to create
mood, illusion, and set the piece in a particular time.
Plot: What happens in the story, may not be sequential. Has to
hold the audience’s attention, visually interesting.
Theme: A universal truth about people – the things they do, the
way they are, that can be applied to your life. Not a dippy moral.
Infer: A reasonable conclusion one can draw from facts or
evidence given.
Aside: A character speaks directly to the audience. Through
asides, characters in a play reveal directly to the audience their thoughts or
other characters’ thoughts. Usually delivered in confidence pretending that
other characters cannot hear.
Nota Bene, N.B.: Note well. Used to call attention to something important.
