My acting pieces

    In acting class we are on the part were each person is given a piece that they have to act out,with a partner. I was given two pieces which are completely different from each other. In one of my pieces I am a girl that is new to a school and is getting bullied. In this piece I a girl that doesn't let others get close to me because I am aware that they will hurt me. I also don't care if no one likes me because they don't bother me. That's how I act on the outside, but on the inside it actually really hurts.  

      In this scene I am sitting alone on a bench, when a boy walks up to me and starts asking me questions. He's curious as to why I'm here by myself and crying. I tell him that I'm alone and I'm praying that he leaves me alone but he doesn't, (And deep down inside I'm glad that he's not leaving because I really do need the company). At first I was only giving the boy one word answers,but then I started opening up to him. I also asked him a few questions, that he didn't hesitate to answer.

     When he spoke I found out that he has a difficult life, but by his appearance I could never have guessed. On the exterior he's strong, with an angry look on his face, the way his eyebrow is frowned tells others to back off. Yet on the inside he really has no where he can call home. He feels neglected and alone. (And that's when we connected.) we felt the same way, I suddenly felt safer with him. This piece starts off with a girl who is not willing to let her guard down and let others in, but towards the end she opens up and becomes more comfortable with the male character, in which they become really close.

         The second piece that I have is about friendship and how friendship is tested. The character that I was portraying had to put the needs of her friend before herself. She had to not be selfish, but instead lend a helping hand to her friend when needed. My character was suppose to try out for the cheerleading team with her bestfriend. On the day of the try outs she sees that her friend is at her locker getting ready to leave. 

         I(as in my character), was upset that my bestfriend is backing out of this. I start to think that it's because I suck at cheerleading and she doesn't want to be seen with a loser like me. That's not the case at all. I learned that my bestfriend was pregnant. I didn't know how to feel, I didn't know if I should be upset( because she ruined her life, mad because she didn't tell me sooner,or sad because we wouldn't be able to cheer together. 

      It was hard for me to hear but I wasn't going to abandon my friend. I told her that I understood why she couldn't be a cheerleader and that I would come to her house and teach her if I needed to. I'm glad that I was given these two characters, because it will be a difficult task. I'm ready to get out of my comfort zone and become two completely different people.

My thoughts on the silent film

Over the course of a few days we were assigned to do a silent movie. This came as a challenge to all of us because non of us have actually been in a silent film before. I use to think that silent movies were ridiculous because the actors were always over dramatic. That perspective changed when I had to direct a silent film. I knew nothing about being a director, I just figured that it would require a lot of hard work and I was ready for the task.

#ACTING

I think that everyone in the class did a really good job when they were acting in the silent film. I came up with an idea on what I wanted thought the film should be about and everyone added their aww ideas, making it an amazing film. I know that it must have been difficult for them to act without any scripts or stage directing but they pulled it off. Lexi did a really good job acting like a male character. Her facial expressions really showed that audience that she/he was a player and that he didn't care about any of the women. 

Lindsay did a great job being the wife. Her facial expressions made you think that she was inlove with the man and also that she was pissed when she found out that he was cheating on her with the side chick. Speaking of side chick, good job Sam. Sam was great when it came to the part when she found out that she was "the other woman". With the way Sam approached that man I would not want to be in that situation. 

And last but not least maddie. Maddie did a wonderful job in the silent film. She had one of the best facial expressions in the film. I was able to tell from the start that she was not very fond of the man and hated how many girls he was with. My favorite part was when Lexi/the man was trying to flirt with maddie/the flower person and maddie made the "ewwww... Back off, I'm not interested face."

They did a great job overall . I honestly enjoyed this experience
