1. Find a show/film to watch (whatever you want) 2. Take notes on the performances in that show/film. What performances work? Why do they work? Be specific? What performances are not convincing? How are they not convincing? 3. Once you have finished watching the show/film you’re going to write a five paragraph essay about the performances in the show. Use your notes as guidance for this essay. Give me a little background on the show, its actors and their background with performance. Were they classically trained or did they learn on the job? How were the performances?
