Turn to look

Staging: something off to the right is worth seeing, and the turn tells the audience in order: the eyes and the head go first, then the shoulders, then the feet step the body round; held, looking, then it all turns back.

What it is for

Put it on a character just before something appears off to its right: a door opening, a friend arriving. The audience looks where the character looks.

The principle it shows: staging

Staging makes one thing clear at a time. The head turns first, so the audience knows there is something to see; the shoulders follow, then the feet step the body round. Turning back, the feet go first and the head last.

Try this

1. Turn the head over 0.6 seconds instead of 0.25. It arrives with the shoulders instead of before them, and the order is lost.

   In the program: ramp · over 0.25 → 0.6

2. Turn the body 90 degrees instead of 45. The character ends side on, facing what it looks at.

   In the program: ramp · to.part:root~spin 45 → 90

How it differs from Look around

Look around glances one way and the other at nothing in particular; Turn to look commits the whole body to one thing.

Works on
