Physcological Realism

We did an exercise to practice physicological realism.
We were all given a list of actions to carry out, but with no subtext. We all had to interpret the actions differently and invent a story to go with.
LIST OF ACTIONS:
1. Walk in from the rain
2. See a glass of water
3. Sway and recover
4. Laugh and then recover
5. Touch your face and then recover
6. Sob and recover
7. Walk back into the rain

My subtext / storyline was:
Walk into my house, see a glass of water that i didn't leave there, stare at the unknown water, sway in fright and then recover, before slightly tapping my face in shock, and then stop and start sobbing and run into the rain.

This exercise was hard in my opinion, as i wouldn't usually do the actions i had to do, when responding to a glass of water, but finding the inside fear of the water helped. And running off impulse of fear worked, because you may sway if scared. Physcological realism places emphasis on interior characterisation, and i found this difficult, with little actions to express.
