Wildest Dream



   Rewritten lyrics---Wildest dream by Taylor Swift
He said let's get out of this world 
Entering their dreams
Away from the crowds
I thought my sense can't help me now
One choice change forever
But this is gonna make me won
He's so wise and handsome as hell
He's so kind and he teaches so well
I can build the thing as dream begins
My one condition is

Say you'll forget me now 
Breaking your fantasy stealing your scene
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll can't notice Even I'm a true beauty
Wildest dreams ah ah ah

You see me in mind sight
Stealing your mind's right
Make you drunk
Someday you'll meet me I bet these memories 
Never be fund

( To Be Continued)
 
❤️Try to sing the song with music... I have a hard time filling the lyrics.😭

My character is called Ariadne, who is a student in French art school. Her major is architecture. She was hired by Cobb to design the settings in the dreams. Her job is to design specific background for certain dreamers( Fischer). In this way, he or she will truly believe that they are in their own dream. Her totem is a sophiscated chess. She is really smart and brave, but she lacks experience. She keeps asking questions and learning from the other teammates in our scenes.
I try to make my voice lively and louder. I want people to figure out that I am the new young lady in this team. I feel like I should be smart and calm but also energetic. I do not know that much about breaking into dreams and I keep learning from Cobb and other people. The only sad thing is that we have never tried to act it out. I am confused about the actual setting. I also want to help with some crop making if I have chance.
I memorized my scenes well but my classmates suggestted that I should do something to make my role stands out. I do not want to dramatify her since she is supposed to be a clever woman.I may specialize my intonation ( Canadian version?) and makes her voice sounds curious and exciting. I may use some facial expression and body movement to make my performance better.
I suggest that we should do rehearsal before actual shooting. We should make the stage setting clearer. I feel that we should force our classmates to watch the movie. I watched it, but I still cannot understand the ending.( Is he in reality or in dream?) For those who have not watched the movie, how can they understand their character and the setting?

Good Try

I and Jack performed a weird situation. I was the crazy writer and he was the mobster. In my opinion, we rocked the stage. We cooperated well and acted dramatically. All of my worry disappeared when we performed. Both of us relaxed and enjoyed the show very much.
I was supposed to be a crazy writer who broke into the other’s house for inspiration. To be honest, I sincerely hated my character. But I felt super satisfied when I finished the scene. I was in a weird and embarrassed situation that I really wanted to disappear, especially the moment I heard the laughter of our photographer---Kade. I hope that my sacrifice worth.
            During the performance, I got nervous and kept forgetting the lines. I have memorized it well, but my mind became empty when I sat on the sofa. My lip shook when speaking. I began to say my lines lispingly. These weaken my character interpretation. In addition, my face looked silly in the video. My facial expression in the video does not reach my prediction. Luckily, I have got a fantastic partner. Jack was a genius comedian. His energy and skills affected my emotion and expression. He made me confident and natural. I was really proud of him.
            For group weaknesses, we didn’t practice the lines well. There were little mistakes in each take. If we have more practice, the show will be more influence and natural. Secondly, the contrast of our characters was not that dramatic. I was supposed to be the clown and he should be a serious man. I had tried my best to magnify my interpretation of a crazy woman, but Jack was too funny. I had a hard time to stop laughing when he showed up on stage. When I watched the video, I felt that I saw two jokers. For group strength, we made three people laugh. Making laughter is the key element for a comedy. I and Jack successfully entertained people. Besides, we used cute props that enriched our performance. I like my crazy handcuffs.
            In the fourth quarter, I want to try to write my own scripts. I love creating own scripts. If I have chance, I would like to work on more script writing and producing. I had re-written the classic fairy tale Cinderella. I changed it into poem. Our class performed it and we won the champion in Hong Kong Speech Festival. I would like to learn more professional knowledge and practiced more in class.Secondly, I want to improve my acting skills. I may try some negative characters since I have never had such experience. I maybe a malicious step mother or witch. Trying new things can help me to create more space for development in terms of acting. I wish that I can learn more from Jack. I feel comfortable working with him. I believe that he will be a good instructor and partner.

All in all, I had a painful and successful experience. I feel my growth in acting and I hope I can grow more and faster in next quarter.
