1. BE 100% SLOWER AND MORE SPECIFIC 1. Slow down and see the details. Feel the weight and use the object as you would in real life. 2. HOW YOU USE AN OBJECT IS WHO YOU ARE 1. Using objects is a behaviour and so can help you lock into your character. Explore the different ways you can use an object e.g. placing or throwing rubbish away. 3. BUILD ON THE THEME 1. When creating objects, look at what already exists. Pick an object to add to the mood, the setting, the content that is already there. 4. SURPRISE YOURSELF WITH AN OBJECT 1. Reach into the air and be surprised by what object you find. Discovery is a joy.
