Inception Blog 300 words



My character is Arthur in inception. Arthur is Cobb's right hand man and whenever Cobb needs something done, Arthur is by side. Arthur is very confident in inception. He has mastered it as a whole. Arthur has a strong voice in the movie, and it shows his confidence when he talks. By listening to his voice in the movie you can tell he knows what he is talking about.

What I add to the scene is a strong voice that makes people agree to what I am saying as Arthur. I feel when I'm on stage I have a good voice that protrays my character. Arthur is a complex individual. While I was watching the movie I picked up that he has almost different body lanague in every scene. This will be a challenge but I think I'm more than capable to tackle it head on.

Something that I need to work on is memorizing my lines and what are the follow up line before my actual lines. The movie Inception is very complicated to understand, and the script is also very hard to read. The lines come up abruptly with no indication. You really need to Memorize your lines and your partners lines before yours. This will be a fun challenge to really improve my acting skills. It has been hard to find time to run through my lines for the Cheshire academy production of inception, mostly due to lost of other school work that has been piled on me this week. Despite that I have found time to look at my lines every night for about 30 minutes. I don't want to let my fellow class mates down by not knowing my lines.

Inception has been a lot of work. It has also been a lot of fun. The class seems to be having a lot of fun with the project. I look forward to seeing the finished project of inception and how far along we have come since we have joined acting class back in January.

Fight Me: Staring Josh & Cade



Cade and I did a great job of performing our skit. It was funny and enjoyable to watch. We had a time performing as well as practicing it and learning our lines. Our skit was about a small kid named Tiny being bullied by a bigger kid named George and the Tiny gets the girl that George was tiring to impressive by beating up Tiny.  This was a funny scene also because Cade and I are about equal in size. This made the scene ironic. Cade is a skillful actor with lots of potential. I learned a lot from him with our time together. I feel and believe we both had a great performance and it would be good if we keep working together I future.

My performance was funny. I used a pretend voice to make myself appeal wimpy. I was also acting like a kid that is small and had no will to fight. If I was put in this situation in real life, I would have retaliated. My projection is great. I have a good stage voice even when I'm talking in a funny way. I believe I am funny when on stage and I think comedy is some thing I can see myself doing in the near future.Some things I can improve in the fourth quarter is not smiling during my scenes. In some instances when I smiled the audience picked it up which made it not as realistic, and not professional. This can easily be resolved with more practice. I am still very new to acting. I think I have a lot of talent in acting and think I can pursue it one day. I can also work on more body movement and more actions and not just standing around.

Cade and I have a great chemistry while we are acting together. We are both on the same page. He helped me with my lines. I also helped Cade with his lines. While practing we went over our movements and where on the same page with everything we did. Cade showed me what he wanted to do with the the scene and we incorporated with the  things I wanted to do with the scene. Some things we could of made better were being more active and facing the audience at all times. Cade and I overall both revived good grades on this project. I would like to be paired with Cade more often because I think he can help me with my acting abilities, as also I believe I can help him as well.
