Reflection Stage Combat

I have learned many different physical skills, such as the knap, the slap, the hair pull, the kick to the stomach, the stepping on the feet, and a couple more. The slap is when the attacker is a safe distance away from you, and pretends to slap you. The victim would make a slapping noise by clapping in a way. The victim would also aggressively move their head to the side, to show the attacker slapped them.

The ways to making a fight scene believable is:

1. Reaction:
The victim always has to act stressed, pained, mad, and shocked when they get hit, and the attacker has to act aggressive, and violent. But both actors always have to make sound effects as well, such as grunts, or shouts.

2. Timing:
The timing of the reaction, hit, and a lot more have to be timed correctly, in order for the move to look realistic.

The argument also has to be realistic, and it starts with the idea of the argument, the dialogue, the facial and bodily reactions, and more. The pace of the dialogue has to be fast, but clear and loud enough to hear. The scenario also has to be believable, and realistic, or it would appear fake. The gestures, also have to be believable, and realistic. For example, if the person was mad, they would have to show it in face and body expressions.

In this unit, I think I did well in planning the dialogue, and the scenarios of the scene. I also think that I was good at the acting of the dialogue, and the arguments.

Some of the skills I should improve on are the reactions and timings of the combat parts. I react too early, and when I do, I don't know exactly how to. I could also improve on the build up of the scenes.
