Olaf from the Disney movie Frozen is a good example of comic relief. He is very funny and silly, which distracts from the serious issues other characters are facing.]]> 2017-04-27 19:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gp21113/m6c1mg9zjod/wish/168740332 gp21113 https://padlet.com/gp21113/m6c1mg9zjod/wish/169234496 Stage directions are within the script and are italicized or in brackets. They explain scenery, what props to use and how to use them, sound effects and lighting cues, how  characters should speak, act, and move (shyly, terrified, etc.), along with what the character is feeling at that given time. 

This is an example of stage directions because it shows what each character should be doing. ]]> 2017-05-01 17:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/gp21113/m6c1mg9zjod/wish/169234496 gp21113 https://padlet.com/gp21113/m6c1mg9zjod/wish/169296609 The written text of a play, movie, or broadcast.

Example:
Last week I went to see the musical, Once Upon a Mattress. Half way through the show the lights came up and we went out into the main hall. During this time we bought candy, and backstage the cast and crew also had a break. The lights flickered after 10 minutes to tell us that intermission was over. Then the musical resumed.]]> 2017-05-01 22:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gp21113/m6c1mg9zjod/wish/169298099 gp21113 https://padlet.com/gp21113/m6c1mg9zjod/wish/169298530 When an episode or drama ends in away that leaves the audience in suspense; it's something to make the audience wonder and come back for the next installment, episode, or season.
