Level 2 performing & production arts

Week 1 I confirm that the attached portfolio is all my own work and does not include any work completed by anyone other than myself Induction week  The main reason that i chose this course is because acting and performing arts is something that i have wanted to do ever since i was 9 years old and to be able to learn all of the different movements, all of the different abilities and be able to perform as a character that is not just your average self because its somebody that is not myself for once.  The things that i am looking forward to about this course is being able to play loads of different characters and be able to feel confident about acting for once because acting is something that i have always wanted to do but i have never had the proper confidence to do it. But now that i have started college i have been able to slowly find those pieces of confidence to help me become the person that i want and always have wanted to be. Some of the actors that inspire me is Nev Cam...

Monday 10th June Today was the day of our end of year performance (Beyond the bloodstained curtain) and also our final performance of Level 2 performing arts. It was definitely my favourite one out of the ones that we have done during this course and hopefully there will be more shows that will include me in the future next year. One thing i would of definitely improved when performing in the show is the volume to make sure that the people in the audience could of heard me better and also saying lines more quicker but not too quick just so that we remember when we have a line. We also did some final last minute performances and practices just so that we remember that we have everything right and we know all our lines and where all of the props need to go when taken off stage.

Tuesday 4th June  We did some more rehearsals for our end of year performance 'Beyond the bloodstained curtain' whilst trying to be off script and learn our lines before we do the actual show which is next Monday and with only a few days till the then we are trying to make sure that we know what our characters are saying and which of us are moving which props when transferring to a different scene. We also made sure that we had all of our props which we needed to include for our characters in the show and also our head shots finished and our quote which we needed to send to our tutor Abbie which would be put under our head shots that were taken by Kane. Wednesday 5th June During more rehearsals of our performance we tried to work on some scenes that needed improvising the most such as some of the lines that we needed to remember and also the most worked part which is the ending scene where my character Benjamin stabs Theodore.  We also needed to work on the fight scene which i...

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 ...
