Level 2 Performing arts - week 28🎬




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 saying our lines and also tried to be more enthusiastic and excited about the comic con. Some characters also stand up and others sit down after a character says a certain line, such as we underlined the lines where the character would either have to stand up or sit down.  



Thursday 25th April

In our session with tom we had a one to one where we looked at what we needed for whatever course we were going for when we come back in September, for example I needed to do either an audition or an interview to go onto level 3 Performing arts so I started to look at some monologues from different play writers such as William Shakespeare and picked out a couple of his different monologues from his plays such as 'Macbeth, Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet'.

We also started to looked at what the last few thing were that we needed to do before our end of year show such as our CV, our end of year show, our blogs completed and our essay which needs to include 750 words on (Film noir). 

Friday 26th April

We started to rehearse some of the scenes for our end of year show 'Beyond the bloodstained curtain' such as the home scenes and the Argument scene with all of the characters at the food court. We made sure to include stage direction so that the audience can see each character when they are sat or stood up around the table.

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 ...
