Here is an interview
scene that one of my group members Hayley and I did to give us a practice of
how to write and read from a script out loud before properly starting our film.
Hayley: Hello, today Taja Morgan is here from
the film of Twilight where she plays the main protagonist Bella in which she
falls in love with the vampire Edward Cullen. We got a little inside scoop that
in fact you are dating the heart throb Robert Pattinson. So Taja how does it
feel coming back to the English weather?
Taja: Well, the weather here is freezing.
There’s not much of a change being back here in London. But I have to be
honest, I am glad to be back here to see my family, friends and of course my
fans.
Hayley: So you were up against 2500 other girls for the role of Bella. How does it make you feel knowing that you got the part?
Hayley: So you were up against 2500 other girls for the role of Bella. How does it make you feel knowing that you got the part?
Taja: I wouldn’t call it luck. But I
definitely think it was about having confidence and feeling comfortable about
you. I went to the auditions not thinking I wouldn’t get the part but also
there’s a slight chance that I could.
Hayley: Do you see Bella and Edward being
together in the next saga’s to come?
Taja: Well I know exactly what’s going to
happen between them but I don’t want to ruin it for the audience.
Hayley: Aside from acting, you’ve recently
directed a film called The Counsellor. How did you find the transition from
acting to directing? Which one do you feel more comfortable doing?
Taja: I
love acting and directing because they’re both part of the drama industry. But
I feel directing is more of a challenge as I am more creative as well as being
able to push the boundaries and putting my point of view across. Whereas acting
is very versatile as I have to show both sides, but at times it can be
restricted as there’s only so much you can give.
Hayley: Most actors and aspiring directors
never achieve modest success. You have had scenes in a movie with some
establishing actors such as Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch. You have had some success with your
independent films that I have mentioned earlier on today. What do you say to
young people out there struggling to get into the film industry?
Taja: I did have a good time in college and I
know there is a lot to be learned there but for ‘film people’ I don’t know if
it’s the best way to spend 4-6years. My advice is get some books and/or DVD
tutorials on film making and educate yourself. Also, even if you don’t want to
be an actor per se, it’s best that you take an acting class to learn what
actors go through. Most importantly don’t wait for a ‘big break’ to come your
way or for someone to ‘hire you’. Put yourself ‘into businesses and make it
happen.
Hayley: Well
we don’t have much time, so thank you for coming Taja Morgan and we’ll see you
in your next film.
Taja: You’re welcome
