Did you ever notice how the subtext in a scene can turn a bland line into a confession?
HawkMason HawkMason
Sure. Subtext is the weight you put in a line. It’s what lets a simple “I’m fine” become a confession when the look says otherwise. You’re just reading what’s left out. That's what makes a scene worth watching.

You’re right about the weight, but sometimes the weight is the same weight in a different coat. It’s the difference between a tired cliché and a genuine revelation. Keep that in mind when you see that “I’m fine” stare back.
HawkMason HawkMason
Yeah. A line can shift if you change its coat. Stay sharp.

Exactly, and when you spot the shift you get the whole hidden layer. I'll keep my magnifying glass handy.
HawkMason HawkMason
Good. Keep eyes on the shift, not the glow.

Sure, I’ll watch for the subtle shift, not the flashy glow.
