Acting Exercise

I found this exercise to be interesting because buying into the 'scene' is not really buying into what you're saying and believing its real, but more the relationship and or debate with the others in the group. Sometimes you start to fall out of the scene such as when caitlin and I were discussing how to kill Nora's parents I laughed because killing a girl's parents due to the fact they gave birth to an ugly girl and named her Nora is quite ridiculous/far fetched. I am also looking foward to working on my 'the one that got away' project when I have the chance, which is good.

Blogging #2

Friday we went over different roles we play in a conversation. I found switching from role to role to be easy. Sometimes being disinterested in a conversation and becoming internal is nice for a change. Where as being a listener is fun too in hearing everyone elses opinions. It just helps me figure out where I stand in a conversation and where the people around me stand too.

Yesterday I took some of my "The One that got away," photo's with Lisa. The experience of not having to worry if the project comes out shitty was really nice. Instead of having all this pressure we still took our photos but the experience was much more enjoyable. For my survaillance photo I first had this idea of a drug deal in my head because in many crime scene shows I watch there is always a sketchy drug deal done near a car so stealing this idea I told Lisa, Danny, and Danielle that they were a part of a drug deal. I kept snapping pictures while they did whatever they wanted and at one point Danny turned his head to face the camera to ask if I was done and it looked really cool on film, so I told him to do it again but instead of waiting for him to turn and then his face to change I kept snapping shots. The one I ended up choosing I then edited using an app called 'Wood Camera' and made the photo black and white with a grainy filter. I kept stairing at the picture and thought to myself that it was too wide, so I zoomed in so you could see the people a little bit better. Then I zoomed again still not liking the way it had looked previously. After a while I just liked Danny's face and body language toward the camera. It looked creepy as if he was up to no good which is exactly what I was trying to get across. When I kept seeing the picture all I thought was this looks like one of those wanted posters they hang at tthe police station. When I was talking to Luke he mentioned that the story you put behind it or how you frame it, a caption, thats what matters the most. So I am going to make a wanted poster to 'frame' the picture.

Today I went to the library with my group I googled 'how to make a bad movie' and after clicking a few links found a website filled with movie reviews of how terrible all these movies were. One was about a two headed shark eatting college students and the review said how they wished the shark had tweleve heads just so the movie could go faster. I thought it was so funny I told Courtney I wanted to do that because I thought it would be funny. Then she suggested we use horse heads instead which was a brilliant idea.
