Level 2 performing arts - week 21🎬

Tuesday 13th February

Today in our Film and TV lesson we looked at the table scene from the film 'The Devil wears Prada" and started to identify the different shot sizes that were shown in each scene of the film. We were then put into  a group to recreate the scene. We then started to film the scenes with the different shot sizes such as the Long distance shot, Extreme close up and the full shot from head-toe along with some of the acting and production equipment.

Wednesday 14th February

Not in College

Thursday 15th February

We looked at different scenes from Hex, 1917, and Romeo and Juliet and started to pick out what we liked the most about the different scenes, for example the settings, casting and costumes and also the dislikes about them. We then wrote down which one was our favourite and what we liked most about the one we chose. For example 1917 which showed the reality of  the war and showed the audience what it was like  for the soldiers back then. But also a dislike about some of the films such as Rome and Juliet is that it doesn't have the correct setting and is shown more as what it would be like in this day and age.  

We also looked at some more of the National Theatre performances on their websites and also wrote down what we liked about the different plays and what we think could of could of been improved better in the performances.

Friday 16th February

We did a reflection with our tutor tom where we looked at back at what we have done in our course over the last few months. E.g The showcase, The girl without hands and the Beatles performance. We then started to choose what was our best one, so for example my best one was the "Girl without hands" because it was my first time performing in front of an audience and helped me gain more confidence, along with things that we thought that we could of improved or what we could of done better at.

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 ...
