Annotating the script

After more rehearsals and blocking, I decided to think about how I want to say certain lines.

Who is Preacher 1?

Preacher 1 in the script is seen handing out leaflets with their colleague (Preacher 2). I actually know exactly what this is like as I am a Christian and have handed out leaflets on the University campus before with the Christian Union Society.

Other than that, I imagine Preacher 1 to be a bit older in years; between the ages of 35-45. An overall friendly person but doesn't like to bother people too much and is as non-confrontational as possible.

It was finally time to put everything into to practice. And everything went very well despite the cold wind and ever changing clouds.

Job done!

While my part is relatively small in the overall film, I was very happy with how I did as I felt like I performed a memorable role.

Skills I had learnt previously in other modules I applied here. For example, making sure I was acting the whole time (even if the camera wasn't on me) and reacting appropriately to what the other characters were saying or doing.

Job well done I say. 😁
