I've taken two different acting classes, and have preformed in a few school plays when I was younger. I agree with angvav that acting is feeling. But in a sense, one has to get inside the character that one is portraying. If you can
be that character, then you can act as him.

Yeah. Hmm... difficult.
A few more questions if you don't mind.
So the president having been injured is a mystery that you feel has to be solved?
How did you interpret the scenes between the Kid and the president?
So how did you interpret the kid being knocked out by the girl?
.. the bouncer having Joe in a choke hold?
Is it clear that the dark haired girl is the new president?
Is it obvious that the line stating that the ozian emloyee was not a traitor is a lie? I was hoping to put in clips that state otherwise. Also "... and helped in our mission" should I show that it is the new president pointing a gun at her head to make clear this isn't quite the truth?
.. how do I show the rebels are the good guys... that's more a question for myself really...
1. I would personally like to know why the President was shot, and it should be solved, if not just to tie up loose ends. I would personally, if I were to watch the full video, would want closure on this issue.
2. It appeared to me that the President was holding fire at someone, most likely the middle-aged that was first shown. The "traitor", in the next scene, was holding a gun up at the President, and someone, most likely from the Company, was holding a gun at her.
3. It seemed like the girl was knocked out in the auditorium like area.
4. It seemed to me like Joe was being subdued in an area that he was not supposed to be in, and that the Bouncer was going to escort him out.
5. No, it was not clear, and I wouldn't have known unless you told me. I'm assuming that the dark-haired girl in which you speak is the one with the gun. You may wish to clarify this in some way.
6. That line could have gone either way. It sounded like a lie, though, and you could have easily have thought of it as such.
7. Yes, I think that clarification in this respect would be helpful to the audience.
I hoped I helped in some way. I have one suggestion, in respect to question 5. Perhaps you can show the new President speaking, on a podium or so, and then cut to the scenes. You could make the scene with the President annoucning the story look sinister, making the company already appear evil on a visual sense. Then, you can show her at the end.
By the way, I have one quick question. It is deliberate that everyone in the company is a female? By that, I mean is there symbolism behind it?
Good luck, and I really hope I can see the finished product of your movie. I'm sure it will be wonderful!
