Protagonist

The protagonist of our film opening, played by me, is extremely introverted and evidently anxious. This is suggested in numerous ways beyond solely acting, a key more obvious example being when the text is received, highlighting the need for reassurance. What I found most difficult playing the character was only having the single line of dialogue. I had to always keep in mind that in editing, the inclusion of black screens, alternating sounds and sharp straight cuts would convey the overall sense of "Dazed" embodied by my character. Within the party scene we had hoped for a direct contrast between my character and those surrounding me, smiling and laughing. Its funny to watch back outtakes of us switching between our "film crew" and a bunch of idiots balancing on the roof in hopes of getting the perfect close up!
