Inception

Getting away from Reality 
    Breaking into people's fantasy
         Constructing own scene
               Exploring dreamers' brain
                      Seeking for their oneiro
                           Getting lost in Limbo
My strength
I memorized my lines well and I managed to perform new lines immediately. I was able to remember the lines when we are all sitting together and reading through the script. I watched the movie before acting. Also, my volume improved. These helped me to express Ariadne's excitement and curiosity better. In addition, I felt happy that I can be several characters in the same play. I can be Ariadne, I can be a Stewardess. I can be a bystander. I was also given the chance to help with filming and I felt great to try new things.

My weakness
I do not like my interpretation. I feel like I am just nobody. But in the film, Ariadne is an independent , smart and young girl that stands out from a bunch of guys. I did not feel strange when I was asked to be the waitress because I was using the same skills to do both roles.
I had exactly the same hair style and sweater on in every scene, even when I was not Ariadne. I was bad at styling.
I still could not act natural. I fill embarrassed when I watch the video. I felt like I was an old 
lady in the market, arguing with the hawker for a lower price😭😭😭

My improvement
Still, I need to improve on character interpretation. I should also work on the styling of my character . When I watch the video, I feel like all of us are the same. We are just a group of normal high school students. I could not tell that this is inception if nobody notices me. Acting is important but I should also improve on details to make Ariadne stand out.I will prepare clothes according to the character's personality before shooting next time to interpret better.In addition, I should be more natural when acting. I will act like I am in my dorm room next time.


Group strength
We all cooperated well and John organized the scene great.

Group weaknesses
We did not plan well that we spent too much time on reading the script. It was a little weird that we spent almost a week to chew and we rushed in two lessons to finish filming. A few of us watched the movie, which caused confusion when acting.We did not memorize the lines well and early enough, which caused inconvenience when shooting. Also, we did not stage or arrange settings before actual shooting. We were literally memorizing lines but not acting because we just had a few minutes to practice and adapt to the setting before actual shooting.

Group future improvement
I hope that we can plan well and work hard according to the plan. I also hope we can watch the movie or the play to get familiar with the setting.
