Level 2 performing & production arts

Tuesday 23rd April  In our lesson with Abbie and Kane, we were introduced to editing and how it can be used in any piece of Film and TV to make it stand out more. We took our scenes from 'Halloween' and started to edit some of the parts in the scenes such as 'cutting out where the director says cut', 'where they say action' and also any bits that were not meant to be included in our scenes such as outtakes or messed up lines. Wednesday 24th April We managed to get our scripts for our end of year performance and then started to read through and highlight the lines that our character would be saying. We also started to add in little bits of improvements in there such as change of line of other parts that were added into the script. We then started to look at the first scene which was the 'group chat' with all of the characters in the beginning and started to look at where we wanted each character to be when we deliver the lines to the audience. We tried sa...

  Tuesday 16th April We started to write down the costume list, budget list and plan out the flashback scenes for our end of year performance and how much we could use from our the money that we raised from our last performance ‘The girl without hands’  so that we know how much we needed for the props when we get them for our performance. We also came up with some more ideas for the script and main parts like ‘Larry winning the competition, the dinner scene here Larry is murdered and also the police investigation scene. We needed to get certain props such as tables, chairs and the stage lights for the blackout scene. Wednesday 17th April We started to look through of what we already had for our planned script for our end of year show 'Beyond the bloodstained curtain' to see if there was anything that needed to be included and that we had a reason and motive for each of the characters towards the victim. We also started to plan out more scenes such as the fight scene with all ...

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...
