Positive Influences - TASK TO COMPLETE

 

Positive Influences – Who Inspires You?

Your task is to think of an actor whose work you really admire.  This could be a film or TV actor, but ideally they will also have performed significantly on the stage (like Robert De Niro, Hugh Jackman, Kevin Spacey, David Tennant, James Corden, Matt Smith) or in more classical filmed work (such as Russell Crowe, Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellan).  If at all possible, pick someone you have seen perform on the stage.  You can use a lesser known actor who you have seen perform, as long as you can comment enough on his/her skills and abilities.

Your research should be in 2 parts:

PART 1:     What SKILLS you admire in this actor. eg: 

     Their ability to play a wide range of characters
Their use of eye contact and facial expression
Their use of accents
Their use of action / movement and gesture
Their understanding of a character and their ability to really become someone else (to be believable!) 

PART 2:     How can you use the skills this actor has in your own acting role  in Lord of  

the Flies?  

You should write at a page of notes for each part.  You may want to organise your ideas under headings or in a table.   Make sure this work is uploaded to your blog !
