My last project of the junior year

For the final project, my group and I chose to do The Little Prince and we have just filmed for the first draft. Everything is going well that we all have our scenes set up and I remembered all my lines even though there are some small problems. In this year of having the class, I have been a priest, Romeo, a god, a young lady and finally, a fox. Those are different characters that people can see from me and I saw lots of my improvements.

I improved a lot as an individual. In the first draft video that we took on Tuesday, I saw that I was confident, and I showed the emotion of the fox that was kind and eager for a love. I showed her helpless while the Little Prince was going to leave. Also, I showed her personality of a dreamer that she wished to be tamed by the Little Prince. To look back to the past scenes that I have did, it so amazing to tell that I can even been improved this much. I became less stiff, less shy and a lot more open. It’s a great experience, indeed. For what I need to improve, I feel like I speak too fast, still, and I also have some pronunciation issues for some words that I’m not so familiar with.

For my group, they helped me a lot, especially Sofia. Since we performed a scene Romeo and Juliet in the written coursework, she started to help me with putting more emotion in characters. Finally, when we acted this scene, I truly became the special, kind and nice fox. I really have to thank her that she used her special emotion to bring my emotion of the understanding of the characters out. My other group mates also showed me different kind of acting and I think we all did a good job overall.

The other groups are also doing very well done. For James and Julie’s scene, it really amazed me. It’s neither fancy nor fantastic, but it’s very charming and warm. The use of flashback didn’t make me any confusion but it was so good that I remember all the plots and the emotion that showed from them. It’s not very long, but every single detail made the whole scene fulfilled and structured well. I really should learn how could they show their emotion spontaneously, even like they were just those two figures. For the other group, the three men did the scene from the slum dog millionaire. They also used a lot of flashback, and the plot is intensive and attractive. The only problem is that I feel like there isn’t enough connection between the flash back and the questions from the show. Thus, I feel like there should be some kind of lines that can kind of explain the questions in the flashback so it’s clearer.

Lastly, I’m pretty satisfied to see my improvement in the final project of this class. I would try my best to remember all my lines well, I will speak slower, and I will make my pronunciation clearer.
