Developing scene 2 4th November 2014

In todays lesson we looked further into scene 2. In this scene this is the first time that the characters are in the woods. My character is first scene by Little Red Riding Hood and goes to get the cape. The baker steals the cape from her shoulders, then feels to guilty that he takes it back. I really worked on showing the guilt through my non verbal communication, by giving eye contact to the audience and biting my lip. Although it is instructed in the script for my character to run on to give the cape back to stop the crying, I felt to show the guilt I would walk on slower, so I came in slowly and made eye contact with the audience then ran over to LRRH.

My character also comes across Jack. This is where we find the cow and offer Jack the "magic" beans for it. This is where is comes first clear to the audience how much this means to my character and how he wants to do this by himself and not with his wife's help.

The audience would see my character as being quite mean and just wanting to take all of the glory by doing everything himself. But it comes clearer later on in the scene. My Director said that I should soften the line "Go Home, I will carry this out in my own fashion". As by shouting made my character seem harsh and controlling yet we want the audience to start to understand my characters true intensions.

Towards the end of the scene the Baker kills the wolf and then Granny gets confused and thinks that I am a hunter rather than the Baker. I then have a line "I am a baker". I rehearsed this line by saying it loud with pride yet the director said to say it a lot more shy as I don't have much pride in my job and feel a bit worthless.
