13th of October rehearsal

During today's rehearsal we got a lot done to be honest, I did I film run though without my scrip, there were a few stutters and lingering moments for lines but I didn't use a script to prompt me, this is a massive improvement from last week’s rehearsal as I was very sketchy on my words and I was picking my script up every two seconds to prompt me. Dan on the other hand needs a little longer and is yet to learn him lines for this extract so we spent about 15 minutes going through Dan’s lines so he could familiarize himself with it more, this resulted in a smoother rehearsal therefore we were able to get the scene fully blocked. The blocking isn't quite up to standard yet but this will come in time with more recurs all, but we now have basic blocking which can be worked around to start showing a relationship between the characters. This week me and Dan started to look at our characters relationship and started testing out ideas on how we can get a romantic theme across through physical actions, we came up with ideas such as only touching hands right at the end of the extract and making this the only physical connection in the piece as it is a pivotal moment where the two characters decide to join their lives through marriage. I think this will have a good impact on the audience as it will be built through the piece to finally the two characters touching and giving the audience a sense of completion that it finally happened. I have learnt a lot about my character this week, for example I found that Miranda would find much more of a thrill from touching Ferdinand than a modern teen would today as she hasn't grown up around men and would have this romantic connection with her farther so it is something new that is not only exciting for her but also scary resulting I her having a small break down in hour scene calling herself "unworthy."
