Level 2 performing arts - week 13🎬





This week, we completed a group rehearsal of our performance and then received individual and group feedback. We were told that when off stage, we need to be concentrated, not messing about and stay engaged. I also made sure that there is a difference in characterisation between the three characters that i am portraying. It is also important to not rush through lines when delivering them to the audience. 

We then managed to do two full run-through's of the play and then received group and individual feedback from both our tutors Tom and Abbie. It is important to get feedback from tutors/teachers because we need to know what kind of things we need to improve on and how we can make the scenes and the characters personality just a little more better. My feedback was to find some appropriate costumes for two of the characters that i am portraying in the play (The dowager queen and the First husband). Another thing to focus on is the volume to make sure that the audience are able to hear the lines that the characters are delivering to the audience. The difference between these two things is that volume is to make sure people are able to hear and understand you, and delivering lines to the audience involves concentration and tone.

At the end of the week we say the Level 3 musical theatre students perform 'A miracle on 34th street'. This gave me a chance to look more into what i could use for my performances like the accents, stage directing and could inspire future characters that i play.

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 ...
