Short reflection

Short reflection due: what were your personal strengths and weaknesses in this project (review the video to assess your performance). 200 words. Post on blog

On Tuesday, our group did our final performance for our Lit&Performance class. As we put out all the props out, I felt nervous and anxious because I felt like I wasn't ready yet. When you said we are ready, then you feel like you weren't ready at all. My hands start sweating; the nerves is out; my brain doesn't work. The final project let me feel a sense of danger. We then started to recite the lines to make sure we got everything down, but unforunately, I still forgot some of my lines during the show. 

The strength of our performance is my different reactions toward Little Guy and Guy. When I am talking to Little Guy, my voice is more in a nicer tone, treating him like my only future, so I treated him as nice as possible, moving closer to him when he has things to ask. Also, when he perfoms his monologue, I smiled at him, and looked at him as the near future, giving him my full attention. However, I have another way to treat Guy. When Guy appears, I complained about what he had done wrong, I blamed him for what he had done, like having different attitudes. 

Also, I think the lighting is really good! I really like the switchover from reality to the dream. When it's in reality, the light is normal yellow light, but when it's in dream, the light becomes blue and this can further tell the audience about the changing scenes, so they can sense it easily. When I wake up in blue, it tells the audience directly about we are not in the reality. 

Moreover, I like the music in between scene changing because it can better notice that now it''s break time. I liked the sound effect of the gun, because it's more real. Nevertheless, the gun seems unreal at all. Next time, we have to use another one because this seems like a toy gun. 

On the other hand, the weakness in our performance is I didn't remember certain parts, and it gets really tough when people hear it because I think and then say, so you know I am trying to think at that time. It's kind of obvious, and I think to use the winter break wisely, I need to memorize my lines even more, like pushing myself to remember those lines, so when the break is over, I can become more adept at my part. Also, I need to add more emotions. I feel like my emotion is monotonous sometimes. Thus, I need to make different emotions and movements when I said different lines.  Maybe, When Little Guy asked me about the angel, I can come to his bed, patting his back. When he said he wants to work at the sugar mill, I can be even angrier like jumping to show my anger or maybe patting the floor. Overall, our group did good, and I wish we can do it better next time!
