Event Summary
Homework:
Going forward, you will upload your homework to an individual google drive folder that my TA Mika will share with you later today. You can access your individual drive folder here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1OT1O6ggUCZcsen_yQ7puhpYI9MBvLuX- These folders have not been made at the time of sending this recap. Stay tuned!
Please also take the time to listen and give feedback to another student based by leaving a comment on their file!
Using the Stanislavski method, write out your thought process and dissect. What are the actors tasks? How can you immerse yourself into feeling what this character is feeling?
Script:
No, this is all wrong. Damn it, what is happening. Shut it down, SHUT IT DOWN! What do you mean you can't?! If this thing gets out, millions of people will die and you are telling me there is no way we can stop it? Urrg, move aside. Come on...come on, abort...COME ON!! (Hit's the keyboard)
Narration (Same character as above, now talking to the audience): We thought we had unlocked the secrets of life. We thought we were at the forefront of the dawn of the next golden age for humanity. In a way, the project was a success. It rid the world of all diseases, but at the same time, all carriers of the disease were targeted as well. As a result, 73% of the global population died in what is now known simply as, the epidemic... and that is how we sterilized the world."
Use the Stanislavski method to put yourselves in the shoes of the character and read it as though it is happening/has happened to them.
Write down your thought process and voice the clips based on your process. Please comment on your video with this thought process in your google drive folder.
Keep adding to your exercise routine. Still want to see you exercise 10-20 min per day.
