production blog: acting in the film

 Hey blog! its me again. During the filming process I was in the film. I was in at least a minute and 15 seconds of the film. It took many tries for me to get certain facial expressions and movements down. An important part of film is facial expressions and body language because it can help guide the audience on the feeling of the character and setting. Due to learning these actions in the moment it took several tries to get the clip down. I kept on messing up and couldn't keep it serious. After awhile I started to adjust to the expressions that were needed. This helped a lot because it was quicker to film and  made it look more natural. Along with this I also talked in the film. The script was improvised in one scene because it had many mess ups. For my first long talking scene it took me at least 8 tries to get it down even though i practiced before. Besides that scene i got my script down for the most part. The script was definitely easier than the facial expressions and body language. I can say with the amount of acting that was being down it was a slow process but you can adapt to it quickly. The motivation and help my groupmates gave me during the process was also helpful. I also helped them because they acted as well. The hardest scene for me to be in was the 30 seconds talking scene and the close ups because it was difficult at times for the camera to be close. While I filmed it became frustrating when people would get into our shots and I would have to refilm. This was probably the most difficult part of filming in a crowded area. The voices also were difficult to hear but that's for another day. That's it for today blog! until next time. Karina logging off.
