We are doing a play called Our Country's Good and we have been working on this play for two weeks now. The play is going pretty well and everyone in my group have learn their lines and we are just making it better and improving it as we go on with scene. For example we tried performing the scene in different accents, in a sad way , a joking/fun way and a very serious way, we did these to experiment with the scene and just get to know it better.
In my group were we meant to do our scene twice because my and Jamie was playing the same character. We didn't do the scene twice because Jamie came up with the idea that we should try and make it one scene but with two characters and we did.
I am the character that is stern and upright ,who's always trying to impress his boss and Jamie is the character that is quiet and always looks up to the captain as a role model, we decided to split the lines and it's worked out well and now we are always looking for new ways to make our scene even more better.
Improvements for Our Country's Good
My character is Philip and my objectives was to quit the show but later it changes and I want to keep going with the show because my captain convinced me that it was for a good cause and I should stick to it.
Notes and improvements
- [x] Keep head up and don't look down, makes you look like your unsure about the line and your scene
- [x] Remember to have an action for your lines
- [x] Don't move around too much, it makes you look like your dancing around and can be distracted for other actors and audience
- [x] And remember to keep the energy through out the play
Specific notes and improvements for my character and scene
- [x] Slow down when speaking lines
- [x] Play the emotions in the line when it's needed
More improvements
- [x] Remember to keep the thought process going throughout the scene
