Character Analysis

For the final project in our ninth grade Caitlyn and I decided to pick out a script, memorize the lines and then block it. I think that there was definitely trail and error. In the beginning of the project I was originally the mean girl, but it was hard for me to act it out. So, Caitlyn and I switched parts and I became the shy and timid girl. In the end I think that we really got into our characters. In the sense that I really felt like Jan, my character. I could feel her hurt when Caitlyn's character insulted her. I think that I personally grew during my time in Dramatic Arts. In the beginning I had never been in a play or had any experience of performing except for my piano recitals. During this short period of time I have learned what the easiest way for me to memorize lines are, how to do stage makeup, and how to choreograph dance. The biggest and most important thing that I learned was probably how to really get into a character. I would do this by over exaggerating first and then reeling it back into to find that sweet spot. I think that this was probably our best project by far. I think that my costume could have been baggier, but for the most part, I thought that it was pretty good.
