Recording #1
1. I think that my personal biggest accomplishment was my ability to take English sentences and translate them into Spanish with relatively little help from on online dictionary. Certainly, I relied on the dictionary heavily for more obscure vocabulary words, of which we had plenty in our script. In the part of the script I translated, though, I was able to figure out most of the grammar and the simpler words on my own.
2. Both of us were able to speak Spanish for the entire minute. It wasn't actually too difficult, since we had a script and were able to memorize the words before recording. The most challenging part was getting used to the pronunciations of a few key words, such as "aporrearé," "recompensando," and "estuviste" v.s. "escondiste."
3. It might be fun to do a pirate theme. We could have a conversation about buried treasure or whatnot. There are plenty of cheesy pirate movies to draw lines or ideas from.
4. On a scale of 0-10, I would give myself a 10. I seriously put a lot of effort into translating the script from English into Spanish, and I did a fairly good job of memorizing my lines and putting emotion into my acting. Unfortunately, it was difficult to show the acting in the video, but I did make an effort to set up emotions and blocking, and I think it turned out fairly well for a first recording.
