7/9/21 - The power of body language & facial expressions

Hello! Today was a good day. We started with some warm up games to get ready, which are always a laugh. Then we analysed body language and facial expressions in ‘the wolf of wall street’ and ‘la la land’. We watched them without sound to show the importance of how you move and express yourself and also to show how you should know the characters thoughts and feelings without hearing what they’re saying. Then me and Latoya went together in a group of two to create a 1-2 minute scene with minimal words that we’ll film next week and mute. The scene is about conveying a story without telling it with words. We’re going to show them in front of the class and they can try to guess our characters thoughts and emotions.
