Here Comes The Music

As the music rises, actors step into the stage. Why does his eyes pump out? Why does he falls on his kneel stiffly like a rock? Oh the sound of shot comes, but wait this character seem to be died 30 seconds ago. Oh, is the music which comes too late. Our group has just  finished the record of our first draft.

Accompany with this video, we received a long list of things need to be improved. Therefore, I think our group is a step forward then halfly prepared. We need better cooperation on light effects and sound effects, and there should be some little changes on our scripts and staging. For example, by accepting the advice given by teacher and classmates we need to add signs like sound effect to show audience that a flashback is taking place. However, these frustrate problems won’t knocked our will of improving ourselves. I can feel the energy hiding inside the actors. They are waiting and waiting for someone like me to recall them back from their burrow.

One of the things I think our group is doing well is that we have enough emotion to build up the character we act. The reason of that is because we find the character that fit us most. I have the experience to act well as a bad guy with my talented evil laugh. Joseph enjoy to pointing gun towards people and his keen on acting as a gangster. Ben is good at acting as a innocent indian boy with indian english accent. However, we are still facing some serious problems. For example, the unversed skill of reciting scripts limit actor's acting skills which make it harder for them to act with emotion when they are thinking about their next lines. By improving that, out group will make the play more vivid and realistic with emotional expression instead of acting like a dead person.

In my opinion, watching others performance a very helpful thing to do. One of the things I learn from the Little Prince group is how they always stage their group in the center of the stage. I think our group act most of our scenes in the up stage which is not a smart choice. We should move ourselves to the down stage letting audience to see our facial expression clearly. Also, I think julie and james act well as couples( Because they are couple in the reality…). However, it is not always a good idea to watch other group’s acting(just kidding). I got catched by james and drag me into his group to become the background settings in the play.

All in all, I think our group is doing a good job. More rehearsal and learn from other is always a good thing to do to improve ourselves. I believe we will draw a perfect end for the end of our literature and performance class and we are all working hard to achieve this goal. Go Cats! Finish this year with smile on your face! Let’s dance with the delayed music!
