Script for Question 2

K: Hello and welcome, today I’m joined here by Jack Waterman, Matt Appleyard and Mathew Bray, the three leading actors for the Paramount Pictures production, Snake in The Grass. (Turns to the 3 actors) Starting with you Jack, how do you feel like Tony Pensiero represented a particular social group through the script and your own performance?

(Camera Zooms in on Jack)

J: Personally I believe that Tony was portrayed as a strong figure, clearly more experienced than the people that he was seen with in the different scenes. He comes across as a calm man at first, but then shows how ruthless and truly terrifying he can be.

K: Thank you Jack, and you Matt? How do you feel that your character portrayed the social group that he is in?

(Zooms in on Matt)

MA: Well Kenya, I think that my character came across as a rather kind and friendly character that his workforce would happily work beneath. When I was acting I tried to show SGT Larkin as a man that was friendly but would still try his best to get the job done, no matter how stern that would mean being with people.

K: Thank you Matt, and finally we get to you Mathew. How do you think you represented Dominic Hudson within the film?

(Zooms in on Mathew)

MB: I tried to take the character of Dominic Hudson and represent him as shy during the street scene, I did this to try and show that he was new to detective work and the concept of murder and power. I juxtaposed this in the monologue by making him sound confident with what he was talking about what he had done. I also tried to make him seem slightly eager in the office scene to try and show that

he was excited to work on a big case but not to eager as he would still be nervous with the amount of pressure placed upon him at that moment in time.

K: Thank you Mathew (Turns to Camera, close up on Kenya) well there we have it. 3 Actors opinions on how they believe that their character represented particular social groups within the Paramount Pictures production Snake in The Grass.
