This was a very difficult project. First of all, we only had two members (Teshia and I) to act several parts of the scene such as Lady Macbeth, Banquo, Macbeth, the servant, and the two murderers. Secondly, trying to manage the camera while acting is much harder than it sounds! But overall, it was a challenging assignment that I benefited from.
I was actually able to memorize my lines (well, only the first part before Macbeth and the others came in). We did cue cards because we were trying to live up to Group 5’s standards but that was hard as well! But before we acted out the scene, Teshia and I read it together out loud and it helped me understand everything better. Reading out loud does indeed makes a difference and because of that, I read all the other plays out loud to comprehend it better.
As they say, there’s no business like show business. You rose to the challenge.
I read stuff out loud, too. It really helps!
Thanks for your comment.
I think we also didn’t realize just how difficult it was to shoot a 3 minute video. The scene was not even that long but it took us hours to do it. I think only now do I understand what actors in plays have to go through. And I had cue cards! So I can’t imagine how they do it!
