Oh yes haha, today's topic....melo-drama in this century. OOOH!!
I thought what the heck, mix in some of what I'm currently studying with what I've collected so far.
So far? I don't like 'em.
Firstly, a melo-drama is an exaggeration. It's a style of acting developed wayyy back when there were shhh....silent movies. Because they could only get in so much dialogue in each screen cap, their actions had to speak louder to be understood. there are other things that speak louder and listen better but take that any way you wish.
So offering someone a glass of water may look like they're trying to drown them.
While practicing my scene today, I had to try hard to keep that in mind. I mean now-a-days we just don't do that anymore. Now-a-days things have to seem real, we look for characters we relate to and like to think of their reality as our own. oh silly girl don't you know so well...
In melo-drama, it's very obvious acting. very horrible acting if ye ask me
Because I hated it so much I needed to find something to lighten my mood so I chose an action for my character I do not think she'd ordinarily do. It works perfectly for the fake acting look however, and I guess that's what matters.
My mother was melo-dramatic....perhaps I should watch my actions?
