Videos-for real

We did the polonius scene for our video, and Zachary was very suck-upy and insincere. If I directed this scene of hamlet, I would tell polonius to be a huge, insincere suck-up, to emphasize all of the sibilance and consonance, and have him act like he believes the lines too much. I would tell him to be s suck-up because that polonius's character. I would tell him to be insincere because polonius only pursues his self-interest, but acts very servile. I would have him emphasize the sibilance and consonance because in reality polonius is a bad man who is messing with his kids' lives and trying to make life suck for Ophelia, Laertes, Hamlet, and im sure many others. I would have him be overly-sincere because Polonius is an insincere suck-up who doesnt follow his own advice, "to thine own self be true." I would also have my Polonius stand either like Golum (from lord of the rings) or a young schoolboy looking up to an adult. The former because he is an evil sidekick and the latter because he acts like that around others, but we know that is not his true nature. böser Hai! (bad shark)
