Level 2 performing arts - week 7 🎬


This week we did more warm ups with the level 3 students and then started to rehearse on When I Grow Up from Matilda the musical. 

We then started to work on our talk back to our tutor and then proceeded feedback from them on what we need to focus on more and work on. I focused on theatre directors and lighting technicians.

We also had to change the moves to Revolting Children because some students were not in so we had to change the choreography. This is important to do as certain people were missing partners and to make sure it all looks good when performing it. The main reason to work on choreography is so that you can create a powerful evocative, and communicative movement sequences.

We then worked on our showcase that we performed which includes Thriller, Beetle juice and Fatal Beatings by Rowan Atkinson.

When i looked back at the video of me doing the performances i wrote down what i liked about it and what i could of improved in each one of them to see what would have made them that little bit better.

One thing that i could of improved was that i could of got into character a bit more and remember to face the audience. Another thing that i could of focused on was remembering to be a bit more louder so that the audience could of heard better.

Level 2 Performing arts - Week 26🎬

Tuesday 26th March We started to film our news reports with Abbie and Kane where we used the Film and TV equipment and also used a teleprompter that was used behind the camera so that when we recorded our news report, we could see the words behind the camera and we didn't have to read it all off paper. We tried to make sure that we had all the lighting correct when filming this news report and also using microphones so that we could be heard clearly when we were being recorded.  Wednesday 27th March  We started off by doing some warm ups with Kellie and the Level 3 students and also some games so that we could practice our acting skills. We then started to look at what we wanted to do for our futures and what kind of preparations we needed for what course we want to do next. For example Level 3 performing arts would need a monologue where we had to pick one and try to memorise it and do a practice audition whilst saying the lines. For example my monologue was about a poem call...

Level 2 performing arts - week 2 🎬

This week I have learned the movements and lyrics for ‘Revolting children’ from Matilda the musical and also practised the show case rehearsal that I am doing which includes ‘Fatal Beating’ which is a sketch by Rowan Atkinson and ‘Say my name’ from Beetle juice the musical. A few other things that I have learned this week is where about things are in college such as the cafeteria, the classrooms and the toilets so that I know where everything is. The final thing that I have learned this week is that we’re only a few weeks into college so you don’t have to be good at everything straight away and nothing has to be perfect just yet.

Level 2 Performing arts - week 32🎬

Tuesday 21st May  We started to do a run through of our end of year show in the theatre just so we know what it will be like when we do it in there on the actual night. it also gives us the chance to make that we know our lines completely and that we have each prop and costume for our characters including there costumes that they wear in the flashbacks and also what they wear to this years comic con. We also made sure that when we change into a different scene, we make sure that the shifts are done quickly and quietly so that the audience don't have to wait in the dark. We needed to make sure that one each person had a part when we go to a new scene so that they all have a part when moving to a new scene. Wednesday 22nd May We started to get all of our props and pieces of furniture together for our end of year performance and started to paint them in order for them to match the scenery that will be used in the show along with some pictures of the internet that we be projected onto ...
