Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• Jordan improving every time we do a scene to make it better
• Remembering all of our lines and sometimes improvising if we forget
• Everyone doing what they were supposed to
• Getting to work as fast as we could
• Working together as a group and getting along
• Making our character our own and not copying our scene that we used
• Getting it done early so we have time to make some changes
• Having everyone do something in our scene
• When we mess up everyone just makes a joke out of it, but isn’t mean to the person that messed up
• Have bloopers to add to our scene
• Trying new things in our scene and being accepting in it

• Finding the right character for the person
• Including everyone to be something

Weaknesses:

• Laughing when I look at Jordan

• Having my phone in my hand when I did know them
• Not staying in character to try to tell someone they did something wrong
• We kept on laughing when trying to do our scene
• We would get off track some of the time
• Sometimes we wouldn’t listen to the director.
• We would fool around a lot
• We would have to do the scene a bunch of times because sometimes we would mess something up or start laughing (mostly laughing).
• Wouldn’t listen to someone’s ideas if we don’t agree
• Yell at each other if we mess up sometimes

Fall Play Review

I did like the seeing the play last week. I had friends in the play that I never knew could act the way they did. I feel like the director’s vision was to keep it simple and have the students improve on some of their movement. I heard that the actors did improve some of their movements because it would be hard to remember everything. I feel like the director wanted the students to act how they thought the character would act.

The acting on some of the characters were surprisingly good. The character that ate a lot during the play was very good. He was funny, and entertaining to watch. I feel like everyone did such a great job, and made the character there own. Everyone put there little spin to the characters. I feel like the characters were very well casted and couldn’t have been any different.

The lighting was very bright in the play and could have been a little darker when the characters were in the house. When they were all outside, it still could have been a little less bright. I feel like some characters should have had microphones because I could not hear some words that they were trying to pronounce. The lighting could have also switched up a little bit, and be a little dimmer at one point, and brighter at another.

The set design was very creative because even though the play was taken place at the time 1895, the props fit the scenes very well. The set design was very unique and organized. I feel like every prop fit the scene very well

Strengths:

• Acting the character
• Making there character there own
• Talking slowly
• Making it flow
• Not just saying line, after line, after line

Weaknesses:

• Pronouncing the words fully
• Looking at the audience when talking to another person
• Starts out strong in a sentence and then starts to get softer
• Mumbles some of the time
