my activity is drama

Today in drama we are going to be carrying on with blood brothers.
In the theater the two brothers are played by two adults. So we will be observing how to act like little children.
First we watched a film about little children in primarey school, getting ready for a nativity play. The chilren were played by adults. The set was designed to be much bigger that it would be realisticly, to make the tall adults look smaller, like children. I dont think the actors played children very well because they said some rude words like it was normal. small children do not do that. They also didnt use anough child like characteristics for example...  fideling with anything in reach. It wasnt very convincing
AT ALL!!!
The second film we watched was so much better. The two men who played old fashioned school boys in a woods, whilst playing airoplanes. The outfits were cute and made them look naughty and little. The way one boy held his body posture was really good for he sulked his frame and bowded his head a lot. There was a rude boy who wasnt that nice. He was convincing in the way he spat and pushed the other. The reaction from the boy who was the victim was well acted. He looked perfetic and helpless. The film really made you think they were actd by little boys.
Todays lesson was useful because it showed you how much effort it takes to make sure you use all your body, speach and emotions to convince the audiance you are playing a little child.
