Being a third year at WAAPA I have had such a privilege of getting to work in the screen acting class. It’s ridiculously weird seeing myself on screen. Today we were using multi-cameras for a scene with my partner and I. They scene had extremely high stakes a broken marriage and lack of a child. Meaning what ……. I had to sob, cry and carrying emotions that I normally can only relate to in real life. During the practice run last night I managed to shed some tears. It was ok but I didn’t feel the stakes were high enough. My partner wanted to use a Mamet approach called the as if approach.
It did manage to work for a bit but didn’t last for the remainder of the run. Walking in to the studio my professor was brilliant he used his own method of connecting and being real with the camera, in complete tears I managed to get thru the scene. I have to say its incredibly hard trying not to be theatrical I’M MUSICAL THEATER FOR CHRIST SAKE. My life revolves around fake scenarios of randomly breaking out into song. Well I’m really working on it, were told don’t act be you don’t act don’t act ugh! Ok the mask and costume comes off pushing through my emotions is cut now lights camera action!
