Chaufeur
I would call this character something simple like Mr Smith. this s because i feel that people wouldnt adress him by his first name, as everyone else is the scene would not have a relationship with him outside of work. I see him as a middle agd man of 45, as he keeps him self to himself, as if he has had alot of wisdom with people and just knows to stay out of things. From the text we know that his proffesion is a chauffeur yet i feel that this is not the job that he would have wanted when he was younger, yet had no option. The chauffeur came from a very working class background, and has respect for things that he has, yet has learnt to make the most of things that he was given. when it came to ducation he had very basic, as he didnt have a good enough one to et a better job. He keeps himself to a quite corner, as he sits at the back of the room and keeps covosation to a minimum. as speaks in a very diplomatic. my characters Super Objective, is to keep himself out of contriversy, and just trys to stear away from the point so that he doesnt sound like he is gossiping.
My character speaks in a very informal manner in this scene, i think this is because there is no real authority in the room and he feels relaxed with the people there. but if her was working i think he would make more of an effort. I drop alot of my vouels and have bad articulation. My character is very closed with his body language, as he doesnt want to open himself up at work. My character moves very quickly and sharply, this shows his assertive manner. As a personal prop i would choose a ciggerette box, this is just something that i feel that he would require on his person all of the time, and would not feel comfortabe without.
Announcer
M next character is the annoucer, i would call him Hanns Satten, he is a young man at the age of 25 as he has youth and a fresh voice and speaks with energy and passion. In this scene he is a radio prosenter , yet does not always do this, yet is always revoved around performance, even before the war started. He was brought up well and in a good area and has had a fairly good education, yet knew where he wanted to go in life from a young age. He is respected a lot, as he is trusted with selling the third Reich. his is a full of life character that is possotive, but will do anything to keep himself on peoples good side. He speaks with passion and draws people in with every sentence. His Super Objective is to keep people intridged and do what he is told, even if he thinks different.
My character will speak with passion and I will raise the pitch in my voice on everyl line to make what i say sound interesting. My body language is very open, and welcoming, even over the radio. movement wise he is very flowing, and has a real plan to what he says and which action he is doing when. My personal prop is a note book, as he is always looking out for new story or something to share.
Scharfuhrer
My character would be adressed as Sir (or the german version), this shows his authority and lets his have power over others. he is an older man at the age of 65, as he has quite a gravaly voice and had authority. My character has retirered, yet at the start of the war, he took on the task of teaching the younger ages, but before the war he was quite high up in the navy, and has a past of bossing people around. And likes telling people what to do. He was brought up in a army background and has grown up with disapline and order, this meant that he has learnt everything from his elders and ther army members. He did not have a proper education, but was just taught everything that he needs in the army. He is a stern character that plays by the rules and is strict with everything that he crrys out. His Super Objective is to keep rder to everything that he does, and make sure everthing and one is in line.
My character speaks in beats, putting emphasis on every word, as if he is following a script that someone has told him to do. He keeps himself up right and walks around a room with pressence to show everyone that he makes the orders. his movement is very robotic, yet this would have been influenced by the military upbringing.
Younger Worker
My final character is the younger worker, his name is Oli, and he is around hte age of 17, he is old enough to start making his own mind up with what he wants and ow he think people should be living. This really comes across in his lines, where he shows passion in his country, and really wants everyone else to belive that how their living is not good. He just works along side his family, and will do anything to help, as his family is not in the best finaltioal state, as they didnt have the best start in life. is education was cut short, when his family hit hard times and he needed to begin work to help them along. He has a very live life to the full approach to life and will always do his best to get his piont across. His Super Objective is to never give up on what you belive in.
He speaks wiht energy and passion and youth like manner, as when he gets an idea in his head that he belives in he will fight for it. his body language is open and he uses alot of gestures to get his point across. He uses fast movements and bouces around the stage, wiht agility and life. his personal prop would be his fathers watch, as that is what he was given by him, and it always reminds him to try his best and give his all.
