Activity 1: Performing Different Takes
T-EXC-004-003
In this activity, you will act out different takes. Forming a group with your classmates, you will each have at least three different takes to act out. Here is a list for you to follow:
- Start with a regular take. Just look shocked!
- Do a subtle take.
- Do a very flamboyant take.
- How would a princess do a take?
- How would an angry king do a take?
- How would a superhero do a take?
- How would a fish do a take?
- How about a dinosaur?
- Or an alien?
Once you have acted your takes, pick your favourite, then take the time to sketch it on a sheet of paper. Do both the anticipation and the reaction steps. Are you able to capture on paper what was acted out in real life? Would you be able to use all these new sketches for an animation?
