Obstacles (Acting)

Up: Acting

Obstacles create tension, and tension creates excitement. A scene without obstacles is not worth it.

Obstacle types:

  • Emotional (e.g. love/crush, jealousy, anger issues)
  • Physical (e.g. limp, sickness)
  • Mental (e.g. intellectual limitations, having a secret)

Obstacles can come from the scenes that the character is in, but also from elsewhere (consider the given circumstances).
