The two identity blocks

Two short blocks hold a character from shot to shot.

Two short blocks hold a character from shot to shot.

  • The anchor line [proven]: the alias and its tag, then age, build or role, the state they are in now, distinctive visible features, and what is in each hand; the sheet supplies identity and wardrobe only.

  • The panel line (decided), on every character role line: face and hair only from the close-up panel, wardrobe and body only from the full-body panels, the cropped front head never reproduced.

  • The inventory (decided): an item that drifts joins a written list held in every shot. In multi-shot clips, restate the clothes, the props and the hour beat by beat, but not the face: describing it again can recast the character.

  • The feeling carried across a cut. Option: use it when a feeling must carry across a cut [single strong source]. Each shot opens in the state the last one ended in, written in KEEP CONSISTENT, unless the cut is the change.
