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!!

Hey i missed last post soooo here it goes.. ill write another one later
I thought that the scenes were pretty interesting, i can wait to see what every one else has!
Also, the layouts were fun to make... i wonder what we will be doing with those? Are we gonna have to set up that place in the studio cause i think that might be extremely difficult, esp cause ours is a boat... hmmmm
Lastly, Kevin and Michelle, i thought your scene was so cute. You guys work well together it seems, i cant wait until you have more done and we can see the final thing!

So we have floor plans, a relationship, and a reason why we're there; anyone else see us having to act out what ever is going on in our scene? I would like to know why we needed the floor plan for that though. Maybe just to give us a measure of space in which to work with. I'm not sure really. I guess we'll see in class.

Skit n Floor Plan

In Tuesday's class ron n i decided to try out our skit for the line check, i did not realize at all how much harder it is then what it seems. we do have a lot of practice to do so we'll see how that goes. I feel the floor plan is a good thing to do, because at this point to me it seems that it may be an easier activity compared to the last couple we've done the past month. But who knows, see ya in class!
