Section A: Question 4

1. To be successful I wanted to show humour and the rigid class system

2. use of props was successful

   • when ross had finished with the newspapers and started walking I said "Personal Cleanliness"
   • said whilst shuffling and organising newspapers
     • created humour= audience laughed
   • shuffled papers loudly and obnoxiously

3. accent was successful

   • using an RP accent= shows the audience what class I'm in
   • "I think so indeed sir!" RP accent very strong

4. use of posture is less successful

   • concentrated more on lines and accent so I slumped
     • Did not fit in with an upper class housekeeper
       • confused the audience on my characters status
     • happened when I said "fish bones in the jam last week"

5. diction wasn't successful: unable to keep lines clear and loud

   • worse with longer lines "I don't mind all your damning and blasting"
     • whereas on the shorter lines like "Please sir!" I could say it in an RP accent
       • stopped the audience understanding the humour i was trying to convey
   • stopped the audience understanding what I was saying and appreciating my lines
     • stopped audience appreciating the storyline of the scene
