Let's get started

'The Interview' begins now..

Over the past week, we have been working on scripted scenes. I was partnered with Sophia and we chose a very interesting scene scenario called 'The Interview.' It was about a young girl named Nancy who commits a murder as an act of anger to a convicted rapist that harmed her sister. Nancy believes that her intended actions has saved everyone else from possible misery that she felt. Nancy request an interview with a female reporter named Jackie King to help her clear her name. With two different perspectives on the case, the reporter can not see through Nancy's vigilantism to help her. At the end, they come to an agreement to meet each other half way without contradicting anyone. This concept reminded me of the movie Se7en starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. It was also, based around vigilantism and the detectives( Pitt and Freeman) different perspectives.

Nancy was played by Sophia Nguyen and the reporter, Jackie King was played by me (Rochelle Erskine). I really liked this scripted scene because it was very different. I enjoyed being able to put the emotion behind the words and create something powerful. It was great working with Sophia as well. Sophia and myself were prepared in pre-production planning; however, we could have been more prepared. We had realistic white noise from a county lock up to create the setting of the scene as well as music. We were also prepared with props. The post- production went really well. But, what I would change is making more report to the audience. At times, I felt like I was looking down to much when I was around the table and I could have done better for-frontal acting. Overall, I think that my performance could have been alot better. I will take the notes I have given myself and what Mrs. Thomas has and use it for my future performances. I learned alot from this experience.
