Scriptwriting- Hot Seating

This weeks scriptwriting lesson focused on hot seating, this is a technique that we all have to use and go through to help develop our characters for our scripts. It's where someone sits in the middle of the room and is asked questions by the rest of the group, the person than answers these questions as his character would and it helps you quickly figure out new things about your character, maybe even somethings that you would never of thought to add to your character before. We started making our way around the group in this session. About 5 or 6 were hot seated in this session and the rest will follow in the next sessions.

I think seen it happen first hand helps you see the benefit of hot seating, while someone is been hot seated another takes notes down for them so they can check the notes for any new information that may be important to the development of their character. I think of the people who were hot seated this week, they all finished with new information or description of their character that they will now be able to use in their scripts.
