For the second task of this module aka 'The Mime'. The first idea I had was to have my character playing the party game 'Charades'. For anyone who isn't familiar with this game, one person selects a card which will have something written on it eg. the title of a book or a name of a film and they then have to act out the word for the others playing to guess.
For this to work, I guess I'm going to have to include two characters or at least implement people shouting guesses for what the mime is preforming.
This is just a possible option for this task which I'll need to get some feedback on first before I develop it any further.
Anyway I just typed 'Charades' into Youtube and found some interesting videos, one of which is from Monsters Inc. I don't remember this scene from the movie (it's been awhile since I was watched it though) but it's fun to watch.
In terms of style this is the approach I'd be going for. Stylised, fun and exaggerated actions.
I also found one from Monty Python:
Another from ABC's Modern family:
And lastly, something a bit different, a clip of a comedian performing what they've called 'Kareoke Characdes' to a song, haha!
Hopefully I will get to do something with this idea... it could be pretty entertaining if done right!
