Our unit was Modern Shakespeare, and our plan was to take our scripts we wrote in English class, and produce a video with us acting a play that we chose was best. We were separated into groups of shows that we were doing, and we had to chose one out of a group, act it, film it, and put it together with the rest of the acts, and that would be it. Then, it became we choose the best script out of the class by posting it on our blogs, and voting for the one you thought was best, act it, film it, and it would be done.
We had some major problems along the way. We needed a lot of equipment, we couldn’t find a proper setting, characters were missing, people weren’t enthusiastic, and it was a total disaster. We decided to go with the one that we thought was best, and we got Tsolmon’s script. It was an Oprah styled show, with a host, and the characters come on stage and talk about a few scandalous things. We chose our roles, memorized our lines to some extent, and began to act it out. We first did a test run on the couches next to the art room, and our filmer, Haram started to work out angles and things.
I was Claudio, I had one line, and I tried to kill Borachio, who was played by Evgenii, on stage. Namuun was Beatrice, the bratty, annoying type, Uudee was Benedick, Reeza was the host named Iris, Rebekah was Hero, my lover, Jill and Catriona was Margaret and Ursula, and the rest I don’t remember.
I felt really frustrated with this unit, especially because we didn’t have a good idea of what was going on and what we were supposed to do the entire time. I think most of us hated this unit, and really wanted it to just go away. Apparently Mrs. Wilson did too! It’s a good thing that we are skipping this unit, because everyone would have gotten a not-so-good-grade on it.
