This monologue project was very eye opening to me. It helped me realize how much work needs to go into a single scene. This project was quite challenging for me to complete. First and foremost i HATE performing in front of anyone. So having to do most of this process in front of people was quite the learning curve. I had to accept the fact that mistakes will be made, but the people watching are there to help me fix them. Going along with it liking the crowd, it was hard for me to look up and perform at the same time. When we first performed I was constantly looking down trying to avoid eye contact. My main goal was to just get through all the words correctly and for the scene to be over. By the end of this project I was definitely more comfortable performing in front of people. I think the biggest thing i improved on was my blocking. At first i hardly had any blocking and pretty much just read the lines. By the end I feel I did a lot better job at blocking. I include the tables, chairs, mirror, and lip gloss. I stood up, sat down, and changed my facial expressions. I feel that this really added to the performance. The main thing I learned is that this process takes time. You need to start small and grow. Memorize your lines, add blocking, perform, and get feedback. It takes time but in the end the result is very rewarding. You just need to be patient as well as observant. You need to figure out what work and what doesn't. You need to take what doesn't and make it better. I also learned about helping others find what works and what doesn't is important. In my opinion the most helpful part of this process was when we got feedback from our peers. This is because having a second opinion of someone doing the same project is very helpful. It makes you realize the small things so you can fix them. You also can take inspiration from someone else's performance to include in your own. Overall this project was very difficult, but in the end I learned a lot.
Scene reflection
This scene project taught me a lot of things as the process went by. When we first chose our scene, I knew that this would be something new for me. Working with more than one person on a comedic scene. In the end though, it was one of my favorite project we had done. I though in this scene we did a good job of all interacting together well. At first I thought this would be difficult since the host talked to both contestants separately. But in the end we did a good job at incorpering everyone at most times. It was very fun to work on this aspect. Deciding where the other contestant could cut in and make a snarky comment. I also thought we did a good job of memorizing our lines. It's was a long scene compared to what we had previously done. But all things considered we were able to remember our lines and keep the scene moving in a funny way. I think one thing we could have worked on was making sure our bodies were more towards the camera. At some points it was difficult to see a pers...
