DYNAMIC ACTION
<Story is Action>
No Action-> no interaction -> no conflict
- Action encompasses any kind of movement and interaction between characters and also between the characters and their surroundings.
- Talking about how one feels is not as powerful as illustrating why one feels the way they do through action.
<Film is Behaviour>
-Action is the manifestation of behaviour
-The complexity of the human psyche and interaction is better understood when it is possible to watch the actions, nuances and reactions of the characters.
<Dynamic Action>

How to Convey visually any sense of inner conflict of emotion
Review: Inja
- emotion felt by Thembile when he realises the Boss is having a heart attack: Panic and Fear. So he tries to get to the boss and help him. He frantically rushes to the backpack and gets the medication and then rushes back to try and pass it to the boss by dodging the dog. he eventually kills the dog in order to save the boss because the boss ordered him to. this is a sense of desperation. in terms of saving the boss.
-thembile’s reluctance to open the bag after the the dog has been hit by the boss. this is because thembile is scared that the dog might think he was the one that attacked and leave him and hate him.
- boss was fearful of the dog being more loyal to thembile. so he got thembile to put the dog in the bag and kicked it and made it look like thembile did it when he eventually was asked to take the dog out. this would create the sense of distrust between the dog and thembile and the dog eventually hating thembile.
