7. MELODRAMATIC
That is not part of comedy horror in my film. I only research to show how to look the character body and face have become melodramatic. I found
one film called Young Frankenstein (1974) because all the actors had very excellent and professional melodramatic. The actors physically has much
wider performance and I want to all my actors like them. These images to show use body language and facial have extremely over the top that I
talking about. I love melodramatic because that is easy to show understandable communication emotional. Also, it’s for make my audience feel
excited and attracting to never stop watch it. So, in my film I will create my characters with melodramatic all the time in my film and yes, there will
be involving slapstick to make more excited to laugh. I need to planning for lots of rehearsal with my actors because I really want to my characters
look much professional melodramatic. I will part of acting in my film which is I am too confident to use melodramatic because I had some
experience and skills from performing arts in couple years ago. I’m understand some my friends who haven’t experience acting or some students
from performing arts might be not too confident to use melodramatic. I will teach to them to use melodramatic before the filming start and I don’t
like any actors become less melodramatic and be pale that will be ruining my characters.
8. SLAPSTICK
I watched some videos of Charlie Chaplin’s romance film. That film called Tillie’s Punctured Romance is link to my idea film so I
found one example of slapstick in romantic film. The couple sat on wood bar and Charlie tease to gentle push to her but
suddenly they unexpected to almost falling. Charlie actually fall down on the ground. That scene I want to similar as my idea film
because I want to the couple trying to good impress to other couple but fails by some slapstick like probably, a woman push her
hip at a man but a man falling on the river and shocking. Also, I might be use the bench when another couple sitting and almost
fell over backward because the bench is wobbling. That is how I want to my characters have become slapstick when the couple
have something embarrassing and epic fails. I need to planning lots rehearsal with my actors because slapstick can be risk to
injury but I want to very simple use slapstick like low key. I know slapstick can be injury because that will be tough hurt. So, I
need to use something mattress or cushions/pillows to stop begin injury but I will research about how to avoid injury when we
do a stunts.
12. BODY LANGUAGE AND FACIAL EXPRESSION
• I researched how to use body language and facial expression communication without dialogue. So, I
watched some videos of Mr. Bean because he had lots of use body language and facial expression
communication. I’m so glad that I found out one video of Mr. Bean in Exam because Mr. Bean had
competition with stranger man about best pen, rubber, colourful pencils and watch. They keep versus
each other till exam begin that Mr. Bean has struck with questions because that is too hard to
answer. But stranger man is finish with his exam and Mr. Bean stay behind the exam and he is
grumpy.
• That is how the way to understand by body language and facial expression when two characters eye
contact and to do something to best impress. My idea about two couples will be against each other
for which one better relationship. They look each other with dirty look and two women trying to best
looking by body and clothes, then two men trying to impress by having sexy lady.
• Mr. Bean had show professional body language and facial expressions. Also he had silly facial
expressions at stranger man which is good idea for my idea because my character a man doing silly
facial expression to another a lady who impress more than him. Silly facial expression will suit for
comedy film because that will be more funny.
13. FOR EXAMPLE
I researched to found some images about to show use body language
and facial expressions. I want to see some them to similar in my film. I
will rehearse with my actors before the filming begin because I want to
all the actors to be more professional with body language and facial
expression. I’m create my characters to be great body language and
facial expressions. They are important for melodramatic because
melodrama have link with them. I have influenced from Charlie
Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, Laurel and Hardy had lots of melodramatic with
great body language and facial expressions. Which means my actors
will must be good acting to make my characters look much better to
be professional.
15. I found five rules of kiss before rehearsal,
filming and stage play. I must follow the rules
because I want to make sure actors feel be
happy or be confident with it.
16. LIP-KISSING
• My research talk about lip-kissing because I will writing the script part of my characters will be kiss so I was wonder my
course creative media production and other course performing arts will allowing real kiss in performance.
• I was research to looking for the rules of performing arts and medias allowed to part of actors kissing in the stage or
film. I found out some information about real kiss. The performance kiss is really no matter perspective and experience
because they are only approach intimacy more safe and fun. Also I found important rule that directors and producers
are not allowed to force the actors kiss because that is inappropriate. Before the filming and casting, I must discuss
with actors will talk about kiss. If they happy with it then, I will happy with it. If they don’t happy with it and I will go and
find other actors who will accept it.
• I must following five rules of performance kissing because that is important for the actors' body decision. I am totally
agree with those rules because I want to health and safety with the actors before something will be went wrong and
ruining.
• Performing arts and medias only must use mouth close kiss because that is once good enough to show romantic kiss.
The group of performing arts will be feel awkward and embarrassing to snogging in rehearsal. The kiss not need in all
rehearsal and they can kiss at the final rehearsal before the filming.
• Only if they are comfortable to lip-kiss, hugging and hold hands because I don’t want them feel awkward during the
shooting film can be affect less melodramatic and slapstick. I want all the actors feel open-minded, confident and
comfortable can make the performance look better. In my view, I believe my Deaf friends who haven’t experience
acting will be unacceptable kiss each other or in front of shooting. I will adding in my problem solve later because if my
friends won’t accept kiss then I will asking some actors who from performing arts.
• There have another way than a kiss, the actors can use hold hands, hugging, cheek kiss and long stare in eye contact.
That would be good idea for plan B in case actors refuse to kiss.
17. FOR EXAMPLE
Mouth closed kiss Cheek kiss
Hug
Hold hands
Hold hands and fingers
Or
Some images to show for example how the look for the characters love
each other used by them. I think they are good idea because that is
better safe than be uncomfortable and awkward like snogging and
touch some private parts. I will give them actors/characters brief to do
with them because if they are longer use them and they will become
want to stop do that.
