Level 2 Performing arts - week 24🎬





Tuesday 12th March 

We started to plan out the script look for our news reports and what different ideas we wanted to include so that we knew how it was going to be planed out when we record it. We had to make sure we included in our news report, such as Meaning of Mise en scene, The different camera shots that were used when we did our Film and TV project and the props, costumes and locations that we used along with that.




It was also important to make sure that we included the more important focuses in our news reports such as the characters that we play, what their main role is in the actual film and also why we chose the film. The reason we chose 'Halloween' is because it is part of the Horror industry and we also wanted something that would have a good story link to it.

Wednesday 13th March

We did a warm up with the level 3 students where we did some different exercise and games just to get us warmed up for then.

We then watch a little preview of one of their upcoming shows that they are doing (Shout). What I liked about the first part of the show is how they made it so likeable and the way they used their creativity for the props was a good addition to.

Thursday 14th March

In our session with our tutor Tom we looked at a performance by the Vertabin Theatre called 'Our Generation'. It was focusing on what our generation is like these days for many teenagers, but it also uses the idea of how they included voice records so that the audience knew what the teenagers meant because it was being said in their own words and then been put into a script

The Vertabin Theatre which was created by Max Stafford - Clark, is mainly focusing on the interviews and how they are recorded and then put into a script. It also gives the same effect of how they said it which makes it more creative because it is being said in their own words on how they see this generation.

Friday 15th March

We started to work on our interrogations for our performance 'Beyond the bloodstain curtain' where the detective 'John Baker' would interview each character and ask them various question such as Where were they at the time of the murder?, Did they know the victim or have any relation to them?, and also what would their motive be to killing the victim and why would they have done it.

When doing this we tried to use the use of the Vertabin Theatre effect where we were recorded doing the interrogations and then we tried to mimic the lines that we were saying in our recording and trying to capture every expression, every line and also every bit of physicality that our characters do during the interrogations of the person who had been murdered.

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 ...
