Status Levels

In Thursday's lesson, we did work on status levels and how we could use them to understand the character in more depth.

The status levels went from 1 - 10:

1.    Extremely nervous, quiet and inhibited

2.    Very nervous, quiet and inhibited

3.    Nervous, quiet and inhibited

4.    A little nervous, quiet and inhibited

5.    Neither timid nor bold

6.    Rather outgoing and confident

7.    Bold and confident

8.    Commanding and rather imposing

9.    Very commanding, intimidating and bold.

10.   Extremely commanding, imperious and untouchable

We walked around the room, acting in these different levels to see how we could portray our characters differently; We said one line of dialogue on status level 1 and status level 10; this showed us about how we deliver our lines and how we look/stand can change our character's personality completely.
