Me and peer
evaluation acting for camera and auditioning
Jordan: Jordan’s
progress as an actor for TV and film audition was very interesting he showed us
a varied view on how his character could and should be portrayed, and his
performance of Adam from DNA was very entertaining and in contrast with his
other monologues show versatility. His research on being concuss showed through
his performance with slow eye movements and the use of voice that was used. The
text was mined well and the techniques he used for example his slow rotating
head contributed to his use of voice.
Cody: I thought
that her ability to understand and learn monologue/duologue, at a fast rate to
a degree where her performances look real and natural show a very professional level
of skill. She had a different monologue/duologue almost every week and was able
to mine the text to understand all the big questions for acting e.g who what
when where why, her character objectives and super objective, what is the main
goal this character is trying to achieve. Her on camera skills were good she
quickly grasped where and when she needed to look places and had a clear
understanding of how to act in front of a camera in contrast to theatrical
acting.
Myself: I have
found this unit very useful and interesting I will be able use these when I where
I can, I now find it easier to analyse film and TV script and get the concept
of what the director/ writers are looking to find, and how to develop my own character
from scratch using that information as
raw ingredients. I found on my final performance didn’t go as well as I wanted
it to go, I believe the physicality is important for me I should furthered my
character in that aspect to get more of a feel for the characters personality. But
I believed I was able to grab a vast understanding of how I wanted to play the
character throughout what I read from the text. I did a monologue by Phil in
DNA by Dennis Kelly. From my research and from what I understand Phil is a high
functioning autistic school child trying to formulate a plan on the spot for
his fellow school mates because one of his school mates has died in a forest,
they think. I think although I grabbed the concept of what my characters objective
and super objectives, I think I could work more on the physicality of my
character.
