When we first started doing the Mime Unit, I thought it would be super boring, but also super easy. However, I was proved wrong. This unit was surprisingly hard, as it was really hard to not talk. Trying to expresses everything your character is thinking with just facial expressions was difficult for me as I literally don't know how show emotion. You have to be very in touch with your emotions and facial expressions to do a successful mime. It was also hard trying to remember where you put things in a mime, or how much something weighs.

The one we finally agreed on was a mime about a student getting put in detention and their friend trying to bust them out when the teacher wasn't looking and i'd say it went pretty well. We didn't want to have too much going on in a scene, so we usually had one thing happening to a character(s), while the other one(s) did something minor, or just stand still, which I think was a pretty good idea, as it kept the audience focused on what was important. The one thing I thought went wrong for this mime is that I think there was a lot of unintentional blocking, though we really tried to keep
