A silent film

ITS AMAZING 

Monologues

     When I think I think of people reciting lines often without emotion. But when we had to perform it for class I felt as if everyone in this class delivered it beautifully. I could see that Lexi was heartbroken yet she was nostalgic. I could tell that Sam was a little boy that was a total loser and he even knew it. I saw how upset Lindsay was about her friends betrayal and how maddie felt that Romeo and Juliet was a terrible love story. This made everyone's monologue amazing. They all made the peace their own and I can really see that they were they're character.

     And Lexi's monolouge I felt as if she was really Rachel. She was upset when she needed to be upset and sad when she needed to be sad. The lines were she said this was our Jerusalem really touched my heart. To me she meant that this was their place of peace and love and I really felt every where she said. She was really good with her facial expressions and her body movements. She frowned at the sad parts, smiled at the nostalgic parts even almost cried which was brilliant. Good job Lexi!

   

       Then there was Sam. Sam did really good becoming Charlie Brown. I must admit that her peace was hilarious, honestly it was amazing. She did really well acting like she was a clumsy loser and that everyone hated her. I thought that I was watching the real Charlie Brown in action. You could tell that he was alone and that he felt as if no one loved him. She projected her voice very well especially when her head was in the plastic bag. I didn't feel like she was reciting a monolouge. I felt as if she was speaking me as Charlie Brown. Bravo Sam!

 

         Then there was a Fairmayden Lindsay. You could tell that she was upset and very hurt by the betrayel of her friend. She did very well delivering the piece of Shakespeare. Although I couldn't understand all of the words her movements made it so that I could. When she was hurt she put her hand over her heart and closed her eyes. That was brilliant Lindsay. She seems like she should be in a movie or a Shakespeare play. Amazing Lindsay!

             Last but not least we have maddie. Maddie was funny as well as she was outstanding. When maddie performed you could tell that she thought her teacher was stupid for making them do all of this unnecessary work. You could tell that she hated Romeo and Juliet, and that she had a different take on love. Maddie really dilivered the monolouge well. Her changes in tone where perfect. She made some words dramatic and others less dramatic, while still keeping you interested in what she was going to say. I enjoyed watching maddie perform. Outstanding performance! 

   

                 I think that watching all of your monologues made me understand the meaning of acting. I think that I did really well when I performed my monolouge. I like how I slammed the books when I was upset and how I showed that I never wanted to be like a bully. I really enjoyed this acting exercise and cannot wait for the silent films. 

MY MONOLUGE

http://youtu.be/JetvEgresI8

Pathetic, stupid, lazy, a waste of space. (Pause) Ignorant, Fat, ugly. Should I go on? Not 

once have you ever said one nice thing about me, you always made fun of my looks, my 

weight, and my lack of intelligence and now you’re here asking me for help, me of all people. 

(Pause) Never once have you apologized for constantly bringing me down, constantly 

making me feel worthless. You have no idea how many times I tried starving myself, how 

many hours I sat there studying and studying all through the night. How many times I sat in 

front of the mirror wishing, praying to look different all because of you. Because of your 

words. And now you’re here asking, pleading for my help. Why should I help you? Why 

should I feel sorry for you after all that you put me through?

I have no reason to. You never gave me a reason to care; quite frankly I really shouldn't care. 

But I guess I’m just not like you. And I don’t ever want to become like you. (Pause)But I'll 

help you. Not because you deserve my help, not because I feel sorry for you but because I 

know how it feels to feel alone. And even though you were the reason I felt that way, you 

were the main cause of all my pain and you deserve to know how that feels. I know that no 

one should feel that way (Pause) not even you.

Acting

These few weeks have been very interesting for me. I learned that no one in the acting class with negatively judge you. It's a small and extremely caring environment. As an actress I learned that I am better at acting when I am not holding a script. When I am holding a script I am more focused on saying the words correcting than delivering the emotion. I also found out that I sway back-and-forth when I am acting. (Which I am trying my best to change)😄anyway I think that these two weeks have had an important impact on my acting skills. I am excited to read my MONOLUGE to the rest of the class because I want to show that I improved. I am proud to say that in that class I am no longer diffident. Another lesson that I learned was to PROJECT MY VOICE and to articulate. When an actor projects their voice it shows that they are confident and that's what I want to show. In this classroom, I have found the strength to try new things. I am ready for the acting world and all the tasks that the real world had. In the future I will go everywhere with confidence. I will perform every MONOLUGE as if I was born for this role. So thank you ms.gurrino and my classmates for helping me gain confidence in just two weeks.( PRETTY IMPRESSIVE😃)

THIS IS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY WAYS THAT I AM CONFIDENT..

 

All about me

BLOG#1

My name is jemimah Frempong and I was born in ghana and moved to the USA at the age of five. When I was younger I would imagine myself standing on an enormous stage and acting in front of millions of people. I wanted to be an actress and and a part time surgeon.(Although, I'm not really sure what I was thinking back then.) I also wanted to be a gymnast, and not just any gymnast. I wanted to be the greatest gymnast alive! I NEEDED TO GET MY PRIORITIES STRAIGHT!  So I decided that for now I wanted to be a student. There is one thing in this world that I absolutely adore,and that is a panda. How can anyone not love pandas?? They're kind, adorable,playful and they love to eat bamboo. I always wanted to adopt a panda, but apparently it's illegal.( Isn't that absurd?) Anyway, I chose acting as an elective this year because I wanted to grow as an actress. Last year I was on the speech and debate team at my school and I mostly did dramatic interpretation. This year I want to gain more self confidence because, I'm always worried about embarrassing myself in front of an audience.  Well I'm no longer going to be afraid and I want the whole world to see that I have a lot of potential.

TRUE BEAUTY

Life is too short to worry about what others think. If you feel beautiful on the inside it will definitely show on the outside.STAY CONFIDENT MY FRIENDS..😃
