Blog 4 Flash Scene

Jaden and I did a scene from the hit new TV show called The Flash. The scene we decided to do for The Flash was where the reverse flash a.k.a Doctor Harrison Wells reveals him self to Cisco one of the main characters as being the killer of the Flash's mother. I was the reverse flash, and Jaden was Cisco. The scene in the TV show was taken place in STAR labs which is where the Flash and Doctor Harrison Wells work together in a mutual friendship. While one of star labs employees finds out Doctor Wells secret, Wells himself enters the lab in dramatic fashion.

In our scene, the Reverse Flash stabs Cisco right through the heart killing him instantly with his knife that was stashed in his back pocket. It was a dramatic scene, and we tried to stick as close to the TV version  as possible. It was a good learning expirence to see where we both can benefit in  acting. This was the first scene Jaden and I ever peformed with sound and lots of movement. I believe Jaden and I did a fantastic job of remaking the scene in our own unique way.


 After watching the scene after we filmed, I found that it both looked smooth, and both Jaden and I went thought their lines effortlessly. Memorizing my lines was easy for me. I believe memorizing football plays definitely helped. Jaden had a great performance as well. He showed how he was capable of memorizing words he may not have have been fimilar with before. Jaden was also a great partner with a great attitude, and I could see myself working with him again. For first time actors going through our first scene ever, I think we showed a lot of promise. If acting is something that we both wanted to pursue I think it is something that could both be accomplished and make a career out of it.

Some things that can be improved is body language, and facial expressions. Looking through the film there were many instances were the scene was found as dull for our audience. I think this can be improved by more practice which will come in time. Our scene was also a bit on the shorter side which was good for memorizing our lines as first time actors, but was also bad because our grade could of been better if the scene had been longer.

Acting class has proved so far to be a great deal of fun, but also a lot of work. It is really good because I feel that I can build off of this class and become a talent actor one day, but also build connections with the people in the class. Connections are very important in acting just like in anything else. My goals is to use this class to become the best actor I can be. This first scene we did is a good baseline to see how much Jaden and I will improve over the next 3 year!
