The script I'm working on at the moment has a few scenes where a group of about 15 people bands together. Six of these are actual characters - the others are more or less extras. It's tricky enough writing a conversation involving six people, but for 15...
Now, while these other people don't really need to be distinct personalities, this group is at a crisis - they are essentially refugees from war - and I find it difficult to believe that in a group this (relatively) small, there would be anyone who wasn't participating in the decision process.
So how do I juggle 6 principals and 10 extras in a believable way?
