FUNNY Unit: End of Unit Reflection

For the FUNNY Unit, we were put into separate groups to come up with a funny piece that we could present to the entire drama class. In my group I had, Noshin, Sunaira, Saniya, and Ankita as group members. In our small group, we decided to recreate an episode from the show "New Girl". During the practice sessions that we had to practice our scene, I personally think that our group itself did a better job during that time, but when we went up in front of the entire class to perform our scene, we got a bit nervous and kind of messed up. Since the script from that particular episode from New Girl was very long, we decided to make it a bit short and take the main scenes from the script. I had the role of playing the main character "Jess". However, afterwards when we went on stage to perform to the class we used our skills of improvisation to finish the scene as we were unable to remember all the lines from the script as there were too many. We used props to give the audience an idea about what objects we were carrying; for example, in one part of the scene, i had to carry a TV out, but as it was quite impossible for me to actually bring a TV to school as a prop, we (as a group) decided to use a big screen prop which was close to looking like an actual television as a prop for our scene. I personally think that even though we kind of messed up in our final performance, we still did a good job, as we used our time wisely when it came to practicing. However, i think that we could have done a better job in our final performance by revising the lines from the actual script from new girl, well enough so that we did not have to stutter on stage (which we did do). But overall i think that throughout the entire FUNNY unit, my group did a good job with the performance even though we had our flaws, and made a few mistakes.
