The idea of externalizing the internal is great, but what the heck happens when you sit down and you're actually working on a scene and suddenly you write something like, 'John is sad.' It’s easy to fall into the trap of writing a character’s emotion rather than their action into your script, because emotion is so vital for us to understand our character's journey. We have to know what they're feeling. The audience has to be able to see that.
But sometimes we get so trapped in writing the emotion of a character to the extent that we lose track of what the character is actually doing, and how to capture that in a visually compelling way. Instead of writing “Her eyes go wide” and facial expressions or emotions, we want to find the actions a character takes that reveals those emotions.
