Journal Exercise - Reflection
1. In your own words, write a definition of the following techniques from Stanislavski's System:
- Units
- Objectives
- Actions
2. Please explain how units, objectives and actions can be used together as part of an actor's characterisation process.
3. If available, watch both the videos of your duologue (one prior to creating objectives and actions and applying them to your performance and one after).
- What differences, if any, do you notice between the two performances? Try and notice the details here. E.g. Did your pace of movement change? Did your tone change?
- Do you think that these differences are due to your engagement with units, objectives and actions? Explain your answer.
4. As an artist, do you think that creating units, objectives and actions enabled you to create a more realistic character? Explain your answer.
