At the first lesson of which we were told to about this task, we were confused as to what sort of setting should the Role Play be in. After much discussion, we ended up with 2 choices: a court trial or a press-conference. Nicole then brought up the point that if this were to be a court trial, we wouldn't be able to argue with each other compared to the press-conference as there are said codes of conduct that needs to be followed.
As for how each of us presented our given characters, I personally felt that Bryan and Jacelyn did an incredible job. Bryan managed to channel his anger and hatred towards the monster even when he wasn't speaking while Jacelyn's portrayal fitted her character perfectly. As for Hasmah, Jasmin, Maxwell, Nicole, Simran & I, I felt that all of us did a good job as we managed to stay in character in a sense that there wasn't any smiling or giggling when either of us were speaking.
Overall, I felt like I have done a much better job than my previous Role Play CA. I think the reason to this is because I've had much more practice and understanding towards the character and the story. Furthermore, I feel that this play was better for me because I didn't have a script that I had to act off of which gives me more freedom as to what I can say and do. Generally, I am quite satisfied with the score that I got because I thought that it was a much greater improvement compared to the last Romeo & Juliet Role Play.
