Cover It Up

Larisa and I were partnered up again for the relationship scenes. This scene was to show how you can play off, react and feel comfortable with a partner. There were many differnt types of scenes we could have played off of. The scene that we decided to choose was: a business trip hook up where feelings and emotions get involved. I played this man named Daniel Abrego aka Danny. He is a 28 year old Hispanic man that grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. He has this problem where he falls in love too quickly and he tends to flirt a lot. The good thing about him is that he is very ambitious and determined for his goals. Larisa played a Female named Taylor Rickards. She is approximately 26 and is very experience in the business. She has this stubborn attitude and likes to get her way. She has a very bad past, and needs to learn that, she needs to fix things one step at a time.

Friday January 7^th, 2011 was our first presentation day. Larisa and I were ready to perform our hearts out but everything that could go wrong had gone wrong. The music didn’t play on time, our extras didn’t show up, the power had gone out, and the scenario that swings open the climax couldn’t have happened because of a character did not fulfilling his role. The scene was a complete bust. At the end of our performances, I requested if we could have another chance at it because, I wasn’t willing to take a R. After a deep discussion, she decided to give us another chance.

Monday January 10^th, 2011 was the second day we were given to present. This time, Larisa and I discussed everything and if problems do happen, what our plan b would be. When we went through the presentation, it was a lot better. Mistakes were slightly mad, but we always played off each other.  The only problem was, we couldn’t have finnnished the scene because the class time had ran out. Mrs. Thomas didn’t get upset since we were below time. She ended up stating that, we did a lot better and it went a lot smoother.

All in all, we had fun doing this assignment!
