This week was all about secondary action. These are actions or gestures that support the main action. In other words, secondary actions are mannerisms or subtle actions that show the characters personality or emotional state. An example ----> A man fidgets with his hands while he delivers a line of dialogue to show he's nervous. The most important thing about secondary actions is that they cannot distract from the main action. Once they do, it kills the shot because the audience doesn't know what to look at. Another important thing is that the mannerisms must fit the character and the mood. Actually there were a lot of important points brought up in the lecture, but I can't remember them all. That's why I've got plenty of notes.

Here is the polished version of my shot. If I have time next week, I might try to improve on some areas. Next week we start on our first dialogue shot! I can't wait!!!!!!
