From the first activity, I thought Bradley’s words were melodramatic but as the lesson progressed I realised there was truth to his perspective. Taking inspiration from my initial thought my group decided to exaggerate the first scene starting with Aastha, Erin, Georgia and Maddi who all played the roles of futuristic robots. They conveyed their role by having their face faced downwards and only when I switched the ‘button’ on with an elongated ‘beep’ sound they began to start operating. They remain stationary with a neutral facial expression, arms parallel in front and rigid body posture, to convey they could only be operated by human commands. I portrayed my role as a chef by walking very frantically and rapidly, furrowed eyebrows and a scowled

To highlight the robotic movements they all stood static and mimed the chopping action in sync by moving their hands up and down repetitively, at a pace of three seconds per chopping movement as well as starting directly at their audience impassively conveying they were emotionless. As they chopped continuously, I mimed a notepad and used my other hand to scribble rapidly to the right causing me to squint my eyes, as I focused on the flood of orders. Due to this, I angrily swayed my head to the robots before loudly shouting, “Speed up, Speed up” causing the robots to chop faster by moving their hands at a faster pace. Then, I quickly ran forward before abruptly stopping as I turned forward smiling, nodding and mimed taking orders from a customer. As I stride back to the robots my facial expressions dramatically changed to a shock faced with my lips forming an ‘o’ shape to show my speechlessness. There is a dramatic four-second pause to slow the pace down before I gradually stutter out, “Robot 1, Robot 2, Robot 3, Robot 4” in confusion, as I hopelessly watched the robots begin to …show more content…
I showed the contrast of the teacher’s feelings starting by being stood upright, directly staring in front creating a mirror prop and using my hands to imitate a lipstick as I slowly applied it around my lips, to show I was getting ready for a night out. Then, at the party my posture changed to being slumped, shaking my body wildly, stumbling around the area laughing and smiling, as I took ‘selfies’ to show the effect of alcohol and that I had loosened up. The next day to show my self -consciousness, I paranoidly stared at the audience holding a rigid, awkward body posture, tight lip line and turned my head left and right. Then, I began to hold my jumper and sniffing confusedly, to show how I was worried of a bad odour as I try to figure out the reason why lads were laughing at me. After, finding out I was fired from my job my body slumped as I fell to the floor shaking my head, pulling strands of hair and holding a sorrowful facial expression. There was silence for a few seconds before I began to wildly sob covering my face with my hands to create a defensive shell to the audience. This makes me feel sympathetic to the teacher, as it made me feel more connected to the character realising how your life can change within seconds for the worst solely due to misuse of technology. Although, technology may not necessarily kill you it can still prove to
