Rehearsals

During rehearsals I was very professional and self disciplined, I always arrived on time and came prepared with all the equipment needed for the lesson. I feel like took direction well from both the directors and the other actors in the movie.

While rehearsing I thought about how I could change my acting style for the camera. I thought about all the little movements I'm gunna make and then I practised them. On stage you need to make big movements to get the point across so I had to tone down my acting skills to make them suitable for the camera. I also have to think of how I was gunna move my eyes and face. I had to think like my character, because the audience can see your eyes, and your eyes show how your brain is working. And if i'm thinking of my next line the audience would see that thought my eyes. The camera easily picks up on small facial movement, so when I'm showing emotion on my face. I need to remember to only make small movement.

When we blocked though the scenes, I made sure to make all my movements hit certain marks. This makes means that when the camera cuts to different angles, my continuity is right.

When I got my script I highlighted all my lines and stage directions. I thought about how my character would be feeling at the different points of the movie, and how that would effect how I say the lines.

I used Magic If, to help me get into role. I thought about how I would feel in the situation. I had to think why I am the way I am. Violet is a punk, I had to think why I made that choice to become so different to everyone else. Daisy Drew has been hurt my an ex, I had to think how that would effect how she behaves and acts. This makes my character's more believable because I think it is important to think and feel like your character.

It took my 2 weeks to learn all my lines from both scripts.

In Chasing Demons we don't know each other, so at the start it is quit awkward, I think we could create the awkward tension by not looking at each other. However as the play goes on we sort off become friends.
In The Player, all of the girl are really close and are best friends. However I have never met Josh before.

I think I worked well independently. I learnt my lines and researched my characters.
