Melodrama Titanic Video and Reflection

Link to my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdUgPRDo6qQ&feature=youtu.be

The members of my group (excluding me) were Aria, Mario, Jad and Jackson. We wanted our plot of the act to be a romantic revenge story. 


Our story has 5 characters:

1) The villain - the villain is the captain. He is an evil, jealous and intolerant man. This character is played by Jad

2) The henchman - the henchman is the captain;'s assistant. He defends and supports the villain in any situations. He is also bossed or controlled by the Captain. This character is played by me.

3) The Hero - the hero is a very successful and rich politician. He is a handsome and charming. This character is played by Jackson.

4) The maiden - is a beautiful and young school teacher. Innocent and humble. This character is played by Aria

5) The fool- Is a poor Mexican cleaner who is working in the ship. He is in his fifties. He has a silly personality and is unwise and foolish. This character is played by Mario. 


The story begins with a conversation between The captain and his assistant. Then the maiden and the Hero are introduced. Suddenly the maiden and the hero bump into each other. The hero falls down and the maiden helps him up. He maiden and the hero start flirting and eventually fall in love. The sailor notices them two flirting and starts getting jealous, since he was also in love with her and wanted to marry her. So, the assistant and the sailor make plan to ruin their relationship. They decide that on the next day they will crash into an iceberg nearby to make ship sink. However, when they were discussing the plan one of the cleaners overhears them. The cleaner decides that he should go and them that he heard them discussing the plan. So, the cleaner went to them and told the captain and the assistant that he heard them talking about crashing into the iceberg. Then they pick up and argument and the captain kicks the cleaner out. Since the captain doesn't want anyone to find out that he has come up with this evil plan he decides to frame the politician.  The captain and the assistant inform the politician that he is trying to sink the ship because he wants the maiden to be dead. However, the maiden overhears the conversation and after the politician left the conversation the maiden creates an argument with the sailor and the assistant. The maiden said that the politician was lying and he wanted to make the politician look like he is the villain. The assistant slaps her and takes her to a small chamber/box and puts her inside. Then the captain convinces the maiden to marry him. The cleaner see them torturing her and goes and informs the politician. The politician gets angry and fights the assistant and the assistant is punches and falls down. It was getting too late while the politician and the captain were fighting the assistant crawls to the bridge of the ship and stops it and the ship suddenly hits the ice berg. the ship starts sinking and the politician, captain and the assistant die. The cleaner rescues the maiden. the maiden finds out the politician is dead and she commits suicide. Finally, the cleaner ends up surviving.

To show my character:
  • I had a very strong British accent
  • I wore a suit vest 
  • I used body language and gestures
I think the performance was successful But I could have Improved on two things:
  • I could have stayed in character since I laughed in one of the scenes
  • When the scene were captain and I were having a conversation with the politician I could have sailed the ship since there was no one doing that
