Movies usually include dialogue to help tell the story easily and understandable. Before starting to write a story a director or a story teller must take a field trip for this exploration. Go to a public place, like a restaurant or a mall, and observe the different ways people what they communicate. Also they must pay attention to the conversations around us. We want to observe the types of words, accents, phrases, and topics discussed, and how the people interact when communicating back and forth.

In order to make a movie, we will probably tell your story using action without dialogue, as well as with dialogue. It is important to

understand how to express parts of the story using only action and images, and to practice writing dialogue. There are no rules, but the films that many people respond to use dialogue that seems real — how a real person would talk.
