Unit 17 Voice of the Actor Media Shoot

In today's Media session I participated in a small role which consisted of me being bullied, my attacker Chelsea day played the bully Lauren and the scenario we cooked up that my character had been bullied for ages. The scene we did was improve where we added in a little dialogue as she comes upto me she starts asking me if I have any money on me and then starts questioning the scarf I am wearing. Within the small role I was given the victim had to be terrifield of her tormentor. When I got told this that I had to be the victim I instantly snapped into character and thought how I could make the victim small yet recognisible and still be the victim of Bullying. So from being a very bubbly person, my action and body language instantly deteriarated into this shy person and timid victim, to help me progress my character and make it beleivable I began to go into myself and make my body language a lot smaller than usual, Chelsea's character had to really intimidate me and be right up in my face, even though the dialogue was small in this scene I thought that the body language really sold the story of a bullied victim because frightened can come in different shapes, sizes and other ways. And even though we did not use a lot of speech I beleive we got the shot in one just by using our bodies and how we would move. I honestly think that the shot would of been better without any dialogue so it can give the media students an insight of a bullied victim. My reason for this is because you dont need words to express bullying.
