Characters in a Play

“The only characters I ever don't like are ones that leave no impression on me. And I don't write characters that leave no impression on me.”
― Lauren DeStefano

Week 2

Hi all!

For this week's entry (19th April), please post your completed script. Do ensure that the stage directions are included in your group's script.

And don't forget to post your 'behind-the-scenes' photos! :)

Tip of the week: How do you make your story interesting?

Useful Apps

Here are some useful apps that you can download.


1. Blogger
Start blogging on the go. With Blogger for Android you can:

• Compose a post that you can save to draft or immediately publish
• View list of your saved and published posts
• Switch account/blog if you have more than one
• Embed an image from the gallery, or, by taking a picture directly from the app

2. Magisto

Shoot and upload your videos and Magisto automatically turns them into beautifully edited movies, complete with music and effects, in minutes.

Filming a Video Project

Hi 2E4!

I came across an interesting article on 'How to Act' and thought these tips may come in handy for the project. Before you start filming, do consider these points below:

1. Voice Projection
Talk louder than you usually would so everyone can hear you. The camera must be able to capture the sound. Do not speak too fast as this often garbles your words. It would be difficult to hear what you are saying.

2. Enunciate
Ensure that you pronounce every word clearly. Speak slowly and make sure that all consonants are present. However, do not overdo your enunciation as you may end up sounding unnatural.

3. Emote

Portray the emotions that are expected of the character. Use gestures and body language to convey emotions. If your character is angry, wave your hands and stomp your feet. If the character is sad, hunch your shoulders and hang your head.
