Meet William and Minnie
For the past couple of days I've been at the Florida State Thespians Festival, and watching my friends and prepare and perform since the beginning of October, I've seen them grow as actors and people. I've finally picked the actors I'd like to portray William and his fiancee Minnie, they are both young actors whom I'm going to age to fit the representation on a 19 year of (William) and a 17 year old (Minnie). This is slightly older than the typically almost married and independent couples in this time period, but I chose this age to justify certain plot elements: why Minnie doesn't leave him (she is naive and loves him but the experience has hardened her into being able to cope maturely), they are engaged but not married (I wasn't privy to actors I felt could represent a married couple properly) and I want both of them to display a certain level of vulnerability and innocence that is much more apparent in a tortured youth.

I love how in depth you're going into your characters, especially with your consideration on realistic portrayal considering the age group of your actors. This really stuck out to me, the way you modified your storyline to your actors, since I have seen a lot of productions that do not attempt to make such realistic products.
ReplyDeleteAs for your other posts, I find them really helpful and informative. However, I do find them lacking something. Since most of your posts are very long, I suggest adding a little more multimedia to break up the entries, whether it be more photos, links, or videos. Just my opinion. Keep up the good work! :)
