1 It makes the story advance. A major feature of dialogue is that it moves the story forward in a more straight-forward way than a narrator's explanation would. In the example, Ford and Arthur have barely escaped the demolition of the Earth, and the conversation they hold puts us into the scene and pushes the plot to the next episode.

Jadi, jawaban yang benar adalah "The dialogue happens in a railway station". Movies are a visual medium first and foremost, which means making on-screen imagery as effective as possible. And if you’re making a narrative feature, you will more than likely be needing dialogue. Movies didn’t start with traditional dialogue tracks, but these days, virtually every movie in existence has it. But what is dialogue, why does it matter, what makes good vs. bad dialogue, and how can you make the most of it?What Does Dialogue Mean?The definition of dialogueDialogue as written text was developed a very long time ago, becoming a genre by the time Plato had made it his own. These days, it refers to many other things, including conversations among people. But we’re going to keep our focus on cinema when we provide a dialogue DEFINITIONWhat is dialogue?Dialogue is a written or spoken exchange of words between one or more characters. Most narrative stories feature this verbal communication, which is often easily identifiable by either quotations in literature or dedicated spaces in scripts. Dialogue has various uses, though it is most often for the purposes of advancing the plot and building character. For example, it lets the audience learn more about a character, their history, feelings, and CharacteristicsUsed for advancing the plotCaptures the "voice" of a characterAn opportunity for subtext and verbal ironyWritten DialogueDialogue in screenplaysGood dialogue tends to make or break a script, as the majority of what your reader will be doing is reading it. And of course, good dialogue on paper has to translate on-screen as well. You can get an idea of this from YouTuber Now You See It’s video below where he quickly but succinctly covers dialogue examples in does dialogue mean?So, what is dialogue in a screenplay?

As you see, the dialogue is laid out very clearly, so much so that each block has plenty of space. You will also notice that character names are capitalized, which leaves no doubt as to who is speaking and should also understand what the dialogue is meant to do. Are we advancing the plot in some way? Are we learning more about a character? Or are the characters speaking just for the sake of speaking? As a result, you can make types of dialogue very subtle, very obvious, or something Scott Pilgrim vs. the World script is chock-full of great dialogue examples, some of which are made to make clear what is going on in the story.

Expressing Character Through Dialogue Example • Read Ful Scene HereIt may not seem like much, but these two lines say a whole lot about Royal, his character, and how he views himself. Dialogue can be very expressive and informative if you have a character talk a lot, but minimal dialogue can be just as writing a screenplay, you will have to decide what types of dialogue you want. Avoiding too much talking is important, but maybe it’s a character quirk. Not enough speaking can be frustrating in some movies, while it can be part of the appeal in another. What’s important is that your dialogue choices make sense for the story you want to StudiesNotable Dialogue Examples in FilmAt the end of the day, no matter who reads your script, most people will watch the movie.

Our guide goes over many tips for writing better dialogue, along with many examples from film scripts and Next Dialogue Tips → In many classrooms these days, student discussion can grow so heated that passion threatens to overwhelm productive conversation. A harsh debate can leave students and instructors feeling upset, or make them discouraged about participating in future potential for hurt feelings, misunderstandings and stifled learning is even greater when classroom debates and campus events tackle hot-button topics like politics, race, religion and gender. And in today’s highly polarized atmosphere, when a comment taken out of context can go viral on social media, the consequences of an out-of-control conversation can be even more severe. Considering these high stakes, students and instructors may be tempted to avoid tough subjects altogether, or only discuss them with like-minded folks. But there’s another option. Today on the podcast, we’re learning about “dialogue,” a type of mediated discussion that may help students and educators tackle touchy topics more productively and use conflict as a learning opportunity. We’ll hear from Kelly Maxwell, assistant dean for undergraduate education in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts at the University of Michigan, which offers semester-long courses called “intergroup dialogues” on subjects that tend to provoke strong feelings, including class, sexual orientation and racial identity. Maxwell is also board chair of the Difficult Dialogues National Resources Center, a nonprofit that supports dialogue work in higher education. It’s hosting a conference for university leaders at the end of October at Princeton to this week’s podcast on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play Music or wherever you listen, or use the player below. Or read the partial transcript, which has been lightly edited for How do you define dialogue, as opposed to some other kind of class discussion?Maxwell Dialogue is really about greater understanding. So it's bringing people together that have different views on particular issues, social issues often—maybe they have different identity backgrounds—seeking to understand one another in a more nuanced way. Or maybe they've never even talked with someone who has a differing opinion or perspective or experience. And so dialogue really brings those folks together to learn to listen, learn to speak one's truth and feel empowered to be listened week’s podcast is brought to you by Destinations Career Academy, powered by K12 Destinations serves school districts with flexible CTE solutions to get students “future-ready” for a changing job market, providing career exploration, real-world experience, and certification prep. Now offering 28 pathways in Health & Human Services, Information Technology, Business, Agriculture, and Manufacturing and the More at Sometimes, especially if one has a marginalized voice, they've never had an opportunity to actually be listened to. So dialogue is about empowering those voices. It's about listening and building empathy for experiences that may be very different from one's own, and really then seeking to understand where that perspective comes dialogue is happening in a classroom, of course there's content, but then there's the process of dialogue. So very intentionally bringing people together with some information, with some content, but then also allowing them to share their own experiences vis-a-vis the content. And then opening the thinking around whatever the complex issue especially younger students come with a very dualistic framework. It's either this or it's this. Dialogue helps uncover the complexity of a variety of issues. There's a lot of emotion in dialogue, too, which is a little bit different than a typical college classroom. So it's connecting the intellectual or the cognitive with that affective emotion, so that people learn that there are real stories behind some of the hot topics of the dialogue happen naturally and organically? Or have you found it's something that needs to be taught and practiced to actually occur?Maxwell I really believe in the latter, that it really takes intention, and faculty and staff have to find purposeful ways of engaging students in dialogue. So we talk about all kinds of diversity, equity and inclusion. And just because you have a diverse student body at any given institution doesn't mean that those students are interacting together. And, in fact, we know that not just students, but in society, we tend to hang around and live in neighborhoods that look like us or have very similar backgrounds like us. Our social media feeds often are reinforcing the beliefs that we already have. And so dialogue has to be intentional to bring people together. You don't just say, "Hey, we're going to have a dialogue about this controversial topic. We hope people from all sides will come. And then we see what happens." That is a recipe for disaster ... where people are just trying to get their side heard and win an really have to set up the space, both physically, so that it's welcoming for people, but also space meaning what's going to happen in the room. So setting guidelines or beginning with some kind of norm-setting. How are we going to talk together? How are we going to listen together? Recognizing that in a dialogue setting there probably isn't going to be resolution. The goal is really to hear each other deeply, really listen, and share one's own perspective, and understand your own perspective better through the process. And hopefully build some empathy along the love to hear more about that class in particular. How does it work? Is it for credit? Is there a professor?Maxwell It's a for-credit course that brings students together across different identities. So, for example, in a race-and-ethnicity dialogue, there are roughly equal numbers of students of color and white students in the dialogue space. And we train undergraduate peer facilitators to be in the dialogue space as there is not a faculty member in the classroom every week. They start and end the semester with a faculty member, and then the faculty member will observe. They're really observing the facilitators to coach and supervise them. And we really believe that peer facilitation allows students to ask that question that they really wanted to ask. Or sometimes students don't want to make a mistake in a classroom setting. So the peer leaders help to reinforce that, "It's okay here." That we're creating a space that is student-friendly and very much about the learning of the people in the so it is across the arc of a full semester. There's four stages to the dialogue process. First is group beginnings. So, instead of digging right into the hot topic of the day, it's really spending the first couple of weeks really getting to know one another, doing something called “sharing testimonials,” where every student in the room tells their story related to the identity of focus in the they do some learning through experiential exercises around social identities, discrimination, privilege, power, that kind of thing. And then they really get into the hot topics that they choose, based on the conversations that have been happening so far. And then they really are in the dialogue process. And then finally, [they] wrap up with, "What has this meant for me? Let me reflect on this collectively." What action do we want to take or individually, if any. So it's kind of a wrap-up at the dialogue techniques have something to contribute to so-called free speech debates that happen when controversial speakers or protest movements come to campuses?Maxwell I think in the moment, when the controversial speakers on campus, [that’s] not really a great time for true dialogue. But I think what can come out of it is to invite people from many perspectives to the table—maybe some that supported the speaker [and] some that opposed the speaker—and then have a dialogue. So we talked about having emotion and dialogue, but I think you want to lower the level from when the controversial speaker is there, when tensions are really high, bring that down a notch. Let a little bit of time pass, and then bring people together to say, "Hey, let's talk about this."Of course you can also do it on the proactive side, before a speaker is invited. Maybe you're hearing rumblings that somebody wants to start a controversy. Why not bring that group together with one that would really feel marginalized by a speaker, and really let them hear from one another. Why might that be very hurtful? Why might having this speaker be somewhat helpful, at least from the group that believes that to be so. And letting them really talk to one another and hear, and then it could change what ends up think that there's some understanding among some people that a call to dialogue can sometimes be associated with this idea of maintaining civility, which may feel like an attempt to silence urgency around political beliefs or lived situations. What do you make of that kind of tension? Maxwell For me, dialogue is about democratic engagement because there are voices that have been left out of our public sphere. And so bringing them to the table, the dialogue table, and really having their voices be equal to those that are often louder is really, really important, as far as our the same time, I completely understand the critique about, "Oh, we have to do this in a way that's very respectable." And I even talked about creating guidelines at the beginning. And I know some people believe that creating those guidelines can tamp down, but the point of the guidelines is to build a sense of how we're going to talk together even when controversy happens. So it's not to tamp down the conflict, but it's a way to say, "Okay, how are we going to handle conflict productively when it happens?"So I think that's a little bit of a difference from what I think of when I think of “civility,” which is, make sure everybody feels okay. It often signals that we don't want to rock the boat. And dialogue really is about rocking the boat because it's about de-centering power or de-centering the dominant narrative, so that those voices that don't get heard actually get at the same time, those voices that usually are the prominent ones, they're also there. They also have an opportunity to be heard, but they're heard at the same level, rather than squashing voices that are typically marginalized. And so it's a rebalancing of the voices around the table, so that the power is uncovered or those dominant voices are uncovered and made visible. And that's a really important and different thing than having a civil faculty who are anticipating a couple of potentially very tense semesters before and after the election, what would you encourage they do in their classrooms or on campus to, as you said, be able to dig in, but in a productive way?Maxwell It's hard to have a true dialogue in a sort of regular class, but I think you can set up dialogic techniques, using dialogic techniques to get the student group to be as dialogue-ish as [instructors should set] guidelines for discussion in classrooms. So using “I” statements, doing your own best and then expecting that from others as well. And then confidentiality in the space, too. You're not tweeting about what's happening here in our room, but that you take the learning out, but you don't take the stories that people are sharing out of the space.[And] then that relationship-building. Because how are you going to expect students to talk about controversial issues in your class if they don't even know the name of the person sitting next to them?I know that can be really tough for faculty members, because they don't want to take the time away from their content for this relationship-building, but it really pays dividends later in the class when students feel like they can give the benefit of the doubt to somebody else because they have some kind of connection with them. So early on, some daily icebreakers that help people get to know people's names, but also a little bit about the people in the room. And knowing that emotion is going to be present is really crucial. I've done a fair bit of faculty development as well, and I think the greatest fear that I hear from faculty is, what do I do when someone yells, or there's clearly anger and frustration in the room, or someone cries or something like that. Equipping faculty with the skills to manage emotion in the classroom. Because most faculty are not trained in that way and don't know what to do when it happens.

Photograph Maxim Shemetov/ReutersPetraeus also said that Ukrainians are determined “to liberate” all of its territory Well, there are quite categorical that winning for them is liberating all their territory. There’s no hedging on that. There are no discussions behind closed doors that oh look, we could give this up or give that up. They are determined to liberate their country. And again, to win the war and then win the peace. And of course, there will need to be some kind of, I think, some kind of negotiated resolution. We certainly don’t ever want to see another frozen conflict with new frontlines. And there’s a lot of pressure on Russia. Petraeus also said Putin could “hang on” in power once the war with Ukraine is over. He has still total control. Certainly, there’s some criticism of the ministry of defence, defence minister Shoigu, the chief of the general staff Gen Gerasimov and so forth, that’s allowable. No one criticises Putin or not generally, there has been some somewhat indirect by Prigozhin, by a few others. I think he probably could hang on to that power. And what we have to watch for are any indicators that the inconceivable, the toppling of Putin, could all of a sudden, seem very possible. Making a story out of hundreds or thousands of lines of dialogue is a special skill unique to trailer editors and documentary filmmakers!. Sifting through, selecting and breaking down dialogue is an essential part of making a story trailer; it allows the editor to see what they have to work with while also building familiarity with edited dialogue in a trailer is achieved by finding the lines which say just enough to communicate a story, even if they're from totally different scenes or in an order completely different from their original context. Poorly edited dialogue results in a lot of scenes which work on their own in context, but when cut into a trailer amount to complete narrative chaos and confusion which will likely confuse and disorient the audience like a poorly shot and edited fight story trailer I make typically starts with a script or spreadsheet with hours upon hours of dialogue, which I then sift down to selects, categorize, and then piece together into a trailer script. Every line of dialogue is a potential piece of the puzzle, and can be repurposed into a trailer in any conceivable order or formation. Developing an ear for good trailer dialogue takes time and experience, but here are some guidelines I follow to decide whether or not a line will make it into that first massive pile of dialogue. Organizing is very important A good place to start is to just think "Who, what, when, where, why and how?" Though oftentimes asking "How?" is a much less important question to answer in a trailer. For example in The Matrix Revolutions, the line "The machines are digging; they're burrowing straight from the surface down to Zion." answers the question "What are the machines doing?" The answer to the question "How are the machines digging?" would be something like "They're using giant mechanical drills to dig down to Zion." Not really that important in the grand scheme of main categories of dialogue you want to be on the lookout for are related toBackstory & World BuildingCharacter BuildingActionsStakesIdeas & ThemesSetup & PromptsHumorInterjectionsBackstory & World Building"In the land of Middle Earth, legend tells of the Dark Lord Sauron, and the ring that would allow him to enslave the world. Lost for centuries, it has been sought by many and has now found its way into the hands of the most unlikely person imaginable."Oftentimes the dialogue in movies or games are tailor made for trailers because they simply say what is happening. Trailer editors aren't always so lucky to get an exposition dump like this, but it does happen from time to time. This sort of dialogue can also happen in the context of a conversation between people such as this one from the Black Panther Teaser Trailer"What do you know about Wakanda?""It's a third world country. Textiles, shepherds, cool outfits.""All a front. Explorers have searched for it, called it 'El Dorado.' They looked for it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time."This is the bread and butter of trailers which is a lot like the "In a world..." style of trailer narration from the 80s and 90s, but if it can be pulled from the original source material it will feel more authentic because it's the material speaking for itself. In the island of Aoshima... Character Building"I don't know what he can do to save us. But I do know that as long as there is a single a breath in his body. He will never give up, and neither can we."There are so many ways to build up a character in a trailer. You can talk about their personality, role in the story, relationship to other characters, their problems, beliefs, wants, and a lot more. Knowing these details helps us relate, sympathize or understand a character. For example, this line from the first Matrix trailer explains how Agent Smith sees humans which sets him up as the antagonist "Human beings are a disease. You are a cancer of this planet. We are the cure."Back to Black Panther, this line sets up T'Challa's dilemma as rule of Wakanda "You are a good man, with a good heart, and it's hard for a good man to be a king."It's worth at least selecting any dialogue where someone describes a character, or a character says something about themselves. There are also lines which say something about a character without being explicitly descriptive such as T'Challa's line "I never freeze" which indicates his cool confidence. "No one can type faster than him..." Action IllustrationThese are lines which show action moments or simply actions which happen in the past, present or future. For example in The Matrix Reloaded trailer, the line "So now he's found a way to copy himself?" gives the trailer editor the power to show Agent Smith copying himself. In the Mission Impossible Fallout trailer Tom Cruise yells "I'M JUMPING OUT OF A WINDOW" to set up an action moment and add a bit of humor. Any dialogue which describes things that happened in the past, are happening in the present, or will happen in the future are worth selecting because they give the opportunity to set up cool things to show in the trailer."No one has ever done something like this.""THE DOCK IS BREACHED!""Here they come.""Neo is doing what he believes he must do." "We're gonna fix things up here." Stakes"What happens if I fail?" "Then Zion will fall.""In less than 12 hours the machines will breach the dock walls."These lines help answer questions like "Why is this important?" or "Why should we care?" They declare what is at stake whether it's the annihilation of the human race, or a character not being able to be with the person they love. "If I don't get food, I'm going to starve..." Ideas & Themes"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"These lines can either be good for backstory exposition or trailer filler for end montages where there's a random assortment of cool shots not intended to be literally paired with images. Any time big ideas, themes or ideologies are expressed, they're worth hanging onto. It might be the thesis of the writer/director of a film or the developers of a game. Oftentimes they're hypothetical questions like this one for the end of the trailer for The Matrix Reloaded"What if the prophecy is true? What if tomorrow the war could be over? Isn't that worth fighting for?" Isn't that worth dying for?" "Sometimes the cats we save, are really the ones saving us..." Setup & PromptsThese lines are frequently divorced from context because they often work like the glue of the trailer which connects the different story sections. For example, the line from the first Matrix trailer "Buckle your seatbelt Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye bye." is a prime example of dialogue which builds anticipation and sets up the climax of the are also a lot of questions which are prompts for exposition, character building moments and actions. For example"What is the Matrix?""So what do you need?""Do you know what happened to Neo?"Some of these will have corresponding answers from within the scene, but they can also frequently be paired with things from completely different scenes. Any time someone asks a question or creates anticipation, that's a prompt for a shot or line of dialogue to be cut in as a response or contrasting moment. For example, "Do you know what happened to Neo?" could be paired with a shot of Neo lost in limbo if you were to play it straight. But if you paired it with a shot of Keanu Reeves in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, that prompt would be the setup for a laugh. "And here we... go!" HumorThere aren't any humorous beats in any of The Matrix trailers, but the moment from the first film when Neo fails to jump from one building to another has the lines"What does that mean?" "Everybody falls the first time"These could absolutely have been used for humorous moments in the trailer had they decided to go that route. Of course, comedic films and games will be rife with jokes, so it's important to have those separated out and organized in your project. InterjectionsThese are even more frequently divorced from context, because they're single words, grunts, screams, cries of pain etc. If you've ever watched TV spots for Blu-rays or DVDs, interjections are the things most frequently in "conversation" with the narrator describing the amount of content and special features. For example, in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when Harry emerges from Tom Riddle's diary and says "Whoa!" Knowing what dialogue NOT to select is just as important, otherwise you'd just be selecting every single line, which for games especially can just be out of the question due to sheer volume of lines. A lot of movie and especially game dialogue is not consequential enough to fit into a trailer. A way to think of it is Does the dialogue refer to something which will affect a character's entire situation or just a small moment?For example, the scene in The Matrix where Mouse talks about missing Tasty Wheat and wondering whether or not its taste in The Matrix is correct or not does not significantly affect any of the characters or world. More importantly, in order for the trailer audience to understand it would require a LOT more exposition about how The Matrix which requires a lot of context is generally not good for trailers because it means a lot of dialogue or custom narration for it to be understood be understood. For example the line "A deja vu is a sign of a glitch in The Matrix, they've changed something" requires us to know The Matrix is a virtual simulation, who are the people in control of the simulation are, and also what the signs of a deja vu are. Similarly, the entire line "Do not try to bend the spoon; that's impossible. Instead try to focus on the truth. That there is no spoon." is steeped in ideas which a trailer will have no time to get into, and even if it was a trailer for people who've already seen the movie, it would probably still feel rather odd. The important things to ask about each line of dialogue are What is the bigger story or character beat this dialogue illustrates?Can this set up or illustrate a moment in the trailer?How much context does this line need to be understood?If the line doesn't refer to a significant world building or character building idea, it can't be paired with a visual to communicate an idea and if it requires far too much time to explain, then it probably isn't worth hanging onto in your project, at least not in your main string of selects. If however you have the opportunity to re-record some dialogue, sometimes there are lines which just need a little bit of tweaking to more directly express an idea which would be good for the trailer. Simply watching a lot of well edited movie trailers will help you learn to hear good dialogue and narration, but doing it yourself via a feature film, TV show or screenplay is the best way to practice. It's a lot of work, but well worth it if you want to make a great story trailer and have a smooth editing experience!
