What are my goals for the next couple of takes?

I think that as a main character, my stakes are quite high and I have to leave them there in order for the play to work out for myself and for everyone else. I like to experiment when I'm acting, just to try out different things, so I think that one of my goals would be to try many more ways to play around with my character to make him stand in and out at the same thing. Romeo to me is a striving, loving, dedicated person who just wants to love the one for him. I need to show that more when I am being filmed or else I'll feel as if I'm letting myself and other actors down. If, I have the chance, I want to sit down before we start filming scenes and talk to the actors in the scene to see if we can just disect and digest what is going on in that particular scene.

I also believe that I can be more ontop of my lines for the next few weeks. I think that I should at least be an example for others because I have been trained in this background. I believe that if i step back from the leader role into more of a helping role, then things may flow a little better. Encouraging other people will have to be another thing for me to work on. Maybe instead of just pouting off in the corner because we cant get through a scene, I could help actors and directors or whomever to get a little more done. I dont think that there are any obstacles in my way that are telling me to quit or to throw a tantrum or anything when things dont go right, because nothing is ever going to go 100% right but there is nothing that is saying we cant get close. My goals are set in stone, and I am ready to move to the next thing! Let's do it... :)

WHATS NEXT!!?

So, we have been doing some really good stuff with this project, and im always ready to do the next thing. I think that everyone is starting to get the gist of whats going on in the project and becoming more open to do things. We have set in stone what needs to be done and those things are getting done when they need to be...so if we as a GROUP keep that up, we will hopefully finish this with time to spare. I still think that we can encourage eachother more just to keep the positive spirit going and to keep everyone wanting to do the project. I am excited for everything that is ahead and what we will be accomplishing and I think that it will all run smoothly! Let's keep up the good work everyone!

I am resigning

I am afraid that I ahave to resign my position as director. I have come into some conflicts with directing and being Romeo at the same time. I will of course still help anyone who needs help with this project, but I will have to ultimately leave it up to Riana to run the show. I hope that I have done everyone well as a director up to this point, and I thank everyone for allowing me to direct you so far. Thanks to Riana for standing next to me and helping me out I' m more than sure that she'll do an amazing job. Also, I want to thank the big guy in charge Mr. P.! Thanks for trusting me with the position. I know that everything will flow smoothly, and I'm still excited to do Romeo. This gives me more time to focus on my character and develop a good relationship with my co-artists in the project...expecially Juliet <3 . So thanks everybody...that is all.

Project So Far

This project so far has been kinda stressful for me. As a director i handa have trouble telling my friends what to do, but eventually the are going to have to do what they are sypposed to do in order for things to run smoothly.  I think that if everyone can stay on task and still have some fun at the same time, this project can and will be awsome. As Romeo in the project, I am excited and very nervous. I am still memorizing my lines, which is really boring, but the sooner that gets done, the sooner I can actually play with them and add some character and stuff. I am not going to give up on myself, my friends, or this project as a whole. I believe that all of us are capable to continue working on this project until the very end! Keep up the GREAT work everyone.

My First Blog!

My name is Matthew Webb (a.k.a: Chocolate). I am playing the role of Rome in the project Romeo and Juliet, and I am also the director of one of the acts. I believe that I can bring some interesting features to this project and it should be alot of fun. Being that i have somewhat of a professional background in performing, I would be able to show other people what and how to do some things if they need help. As a director, I would make it my duty to be sure that everything is running smoothly and that everyone is having a good time but being focused at the same time. I cant wait to put this up, i am MORE THAN HAPPY with the people that I am working with, and i hope they feel the same.!
