Last week we learnt how to spot out patterns. We were given a sheet which had random shapes and patterns, we had to figure out some patterns on the piece of paper and group them using colour. Some groups were grouped because they went up in timetables while others, had similarities in the way they were formed.

How to act? (drana)

1) Roll on the wall

2) Feel what the characters feeling

3) Visualize yourself in the characters position.

 In into the woods is a movie based on different kinds of fairy tales the one character that interests me the most is the witch because  the witches one desire is to be young and beautiful again, her objective is to have power and be young forever.
The witch is very needy and desperate to get what she wants because she knows this is her only chance to become young again until the next 100 years.
She wheres dark clothing  and has a very messy hair style, her clothes are very old,  ripped and drags down her body. The way the character acts is very needy she frustrated and I like the way her look goes with her character, this witch seems very manipulative and a bit creepy at times.
