I think there is value to discussing staging LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 07/02/2010 01:52:47 AM
Just like there is value to discussing cinematography. You can show a lot of meaning in how you choose to visualize a dialogue.

But yes, it shouldn't be a focus. Most high school kids wouldn't even want to, just us crazy people.
