Things I expect from a good performance:
Change in characters, and to be able to tell when they change
Something relatable I can find meaning out of
Needs to be believable - help in suspension of disbelief
Can convey emotion, hopefully without them stating it
Need to see character not actor
Physical Expression
Movement - Rachel's movement like a doll, Priss dying, Roy moves slowly
Individual body language - Norman always eating in tense moments
Use of props and scenery - Deckard holding gun
Vocal Delivery
Tone - changes how a line is shown (emotion) - Roy's speech from forlorn to angry
Speed/Pace - a slow delivery shows calm, power
Emotion - how a character feels
Accent - Relatability - This in England
Contrast delivery with content of whats being delivered - juxtaposition
Interaction
How the actors 'connect' with each other - Grease Travolta - Zuko
How do they react to/around each other - Batman + Robin
What do you learn from their interactions - Rachel forced scene
Staging and Choreography
How have the characters been positioned in the shot?
How much freedom of movement do they have?
How naturalistic is thei style of movement?
What do you learn from their movements?
