people talkin

i noticed that some people watch other people when they talk. they may look at those around them to see how they are reacting to what they are sayin. some people do not. some people do not care about what others are doing and just say what they need to say. i agree with a post i read about people act differntly when they are lying. that is very true. i think people listen differently as well. u can kinda tell when someone is really listening to what you have to say, or when they are just fakin it like shut up i dont care.

i enjoyed working on the skits once again, and am startin to realize what is asked of us.
i also liked drawing out our little areas in class thursday. not sure what they are for, but im sure we will do something VERY interesting with them.

See you all in about7 hours :)

talking

I noticed a few things when i watch people talk. I noticed that many of my friends use very little movement when talking. I also noticed that people look and act differently when they lie. I was kinda interesting to see but it felt semi stockerish like the other watching people activity that we did. Well see you all later.

Monday Night Postin

So I am not entirely sure if I am supposed to free post. I think we were supposed to write about how people talk to us and how we percieve and respond to it. So depending on my mood, day, time, etc.... I might find someone's harmless remarks completely offensive sometimes. Really anyone can ALMOST say anything, and you should treat them depending on their attitude towards whatever.

I found it really helpful to watch other people perform their skits and then for Fabio to comment on them. Now i have a lot better of an idea what he is looking for in our skits. It's also cool to see how other groups with the same lines acted out their scene and came up with a completely different background story.

skits n stuff

So I really am excited about our final. I have the two best partners ever and we are gonna kick butt! I am having kind of a hard time though because I am reading the same part in two different situations and I keep getting the lines and emotions screwed up. I guess I will get it all ironed out before the final presentation.

See ya'll in class tomorrow!

I thought that going over what is considered an action that an actor portrays really helped to put ideas in our heads about what we can do in our own scenes. I also thought it was interesting that sometimes we do actions but don't even realize that we are doing them at the time. If we really feel the action we are trying to show the audience then our acting is going to be so much more believable.

I thought class on Thursday was very helpful. Although we spent most of the time going over other people's scenes, it was a great learning experience (well at least I thought so!). I'm sure people felt the same way after watching those of us who went on the first day. Talking about the verbs helped alot. It got me thinking how best to portray my character and how to put life into our scene. I can't wait to see more, and to improve my own.

Oh and Thanks Gwyn! P.S. Gwyn, your idea about Endgame would have been perfect for your scene!!
