Today we looked at extensively looking at how we could portray our objectives well enough that the audience can understand but not to the point where it is no longer naturalistic and more melodramatic. My objective for my scene was to search for and ignore, in my opinion these are two very easy objectives to fulfill. This is not me implying that my character was not a challenge but it is because I studied him well and it was easy for me to grasp his objectives and bring them down to a simpler form. I could see that many people had over complicated their objectives which made it difficult for them to portray it when we asked to mime it. For example, Skye's objective was 'to remember', because this is quite a difficult objective to act it took the whole lesson for him to grasp it. Will made the whole class try and portray to remember and it was important that it was instinctual. I asked if I could show my version of too remember, and it was 50/50 from the class. One half, including Will, believed I was playing 'to remember' but the other half just thought I was a madman. I could understand why but I still thought I played it well. Anyway, my objectives were clearly shown and I do believe that.
I believe that today, I played the role of Trofimov well because I had established my objectives early so it was easier for me to play the role. In my opinion, I felt as if I worked well and managed to stay focused. The play is difficult for me, I feel, so it was tricky trying to keep positive but I managed to.
