The End of Act 1!!!

In the past week, we filmed Act 1. It was a little stressful and we hit some bumps along the road but I think we figured it out and it's going to turn out okay. In scene 3, it was pretty easygoing. We didn't really go by the script word for word but we made it relative and it made sense. Yesterday we filmed scene 5. This was the party scene where Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love. The most difficult part was just getting everyone to be where they needed to be. It took us a long time to film something that wasn't very long but in all honesty, I think it was worth it. We did a good job selling our characters and it literally looked like we were in love, just as it's supposed to be. I'm excited to film Act 3 next week.

Memorizing Lines...

I am in the process of memorizing lines for Act 3 Scene 2. It flows nicely together now that some editing has been done to it. It's like each line leads into another. "The best time for love is night. I want the night to come so I can lose myself to my love, Romeo. Night needs to come and so does Romeo whose light is so bright it makes the night seem like day." It's all easy to remember because each sentance has something to do with the sentance before it and it is all relative, almost like a song. In this scene, Juliet finds out that Romeo killed her cousin Tybalt and is very frantic but also confused. Romeo has been expelled. She loved her cousin but she loves Romeo more than life itself. She says in the script, "Romeo's expulsion is worse than ten thousand deaths of Tybalt."
Tomorrow, we're meeting early in the morning with the VM Romeo and Juliet project people. I'm excited to meet them and discuss ideas and important aspects of the play.

Getting Started

I have just recieved my script for act 3 scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet. It's a very good script but it needs a little bit of editing. It's good, though, that I have an idea of how my script is going to be. It only needs to have some words changed around so it flows better and it should be fine. I'm so excited to start memorizing lines and start acting. Like I said in my last post, its going to be challenging because the events in this play are very dramatic and extreme. From the way that my script looks so far, Juliet is very emotional and expressive but she doesn't cry which should make it easier to act out. In act 3, Juliet finds out that Romeo has killed Tybalt and she's upset but she decides that she cannot be angry at Romeo because she loves him so much. Its the rising action of the play so it needs to be exciting and leading up to the climax. Again, I'm very excited to start working hard on this and see where it goes.

Romeo and Juliet Project

I am very excited to start the Romeo and Juliet project playing the role of Juliet. I am in act one, three, and five. I think it's going to be a challenge for me because I've never done a play before. I will not only have to memorize lines, but act as if I AM Juliet. Juliet is very dramatic, especially towards act five when she has to kill herself. She is a very dynamic character and it's going to be difficult to get into character and try to put myself into that mindset. My goal for this is that everyone does their part and is serious about their job so this whole thing works out. If not, it may not work out the way its supposed to. Overall, I'm happy with the role of Juliet although it will be a challenge for me.
