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.
