Subtext Amplification:

1. CURRENT SUBTEXT AUDIT

3. WHAT THEY CANNOT SAY

- What prevents them from saying it?

4. AMPLIFICATION TECHNIQUES

- Deflection: Answer a different question
- Attack: Use dialogue as weapon
- Testing: Probe without committing
- Performance: Play a role

5. BEHAVIORAL LAYER

- What object or activity can carry subtext?

6. AMPLIFIED SCENE
