Acting Training Journal XVI: 3/24/15
Don saw our scene today. Since he re-edited it, I had re-interperted my character as being not quite such a nasty man. He pointed out this is drama and that in drama, mean nasty people work better, so he modded my emotional context to me being a dominant player type again. This necessitated changing our blocking to show more assertiveness/aggressiveness on my part, to heighten the drama of the scene. It's quite out of my ordinary emotional range, because while I'm capable and skilled at confrontation, I really am not used to being the intentional prick like my character, much less being so clearly in the moral wrong. I also tend to self blame, which this guy doesn't seem to have a lick of.
