Level 2 Performing arts - week 33🎬



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 is included in that final scene and also repeating parts of that scene so that we end up getting it right after doing more takes of that scene. When doing more repeats of the scene it helps us to remember what our characters need to say and also making sure that we get it right on those takes so that they are ready for the actual night of our performance

We also managed to create a sheet of paper that the people in the audience can write down who they think the actual killer is and who has been murdered. This also gives us ideas on who they think the killer could be.

Thursday 6th June

We did one more run through of our end of year performance and managed to go through it all without looking at our script or forgetting any lines. It was also important to make sure that we had all the props and costumes that were needed for our characters on the day of the performance.

We also went to go and watch a dress rehearsal of the Level 3 students performance (One flew over the cuckoos nest) which was really amazing and definitely gave me more confidence and more eager to do Level 3 performing arts.

Friday 7th June

This was the last day before we do our end of year performance, so we had to move things out from the theatre and clean most of it out from the Level 3 students' last show that they did. When it was all cleared out, we then had to paint the floor of the theatre all black because it needed to be black for when we do our performance which meant that we had to go over the white paint that was already there from the Level 3s performance

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 ...
