Today was a rather special class, as we took part in an acting workshop with the drama class. At first I was quite reluctant to perform in front of so many people, but after encouragement from the teachers, I realized that acting could a very cathartic and enjoyable experience. However, through noticing other classmates' acting, I realized it is extremely difficult to receive a flawless performance (we expect them to be as good as professional movie stars) from our classmates who have not taken drama.
Therefore, what I took out of this class was that it is harder than it seems to act in a desired manner, especially for amateurs. Therefore, we must be sympathetic and lenient to those who are acting in the films, but at the same time devise methods to help them get into character and perform at their best to add to the characterization and realism of our films.
