mandys lesson unit 6

 In  Mandys lesson the first couple of minutes  we had discussed  what a posture is ?  we was in two big groups and we had a peace of paper and a marker pen and we all wrote down what we thought a posture was . We all agreed in our group that a posture is a way you stand or sit .

 We then all talked  together as a class and talked about what we thought was a good and bad posture . 
Me and my group all agreed that a posture is a way you sit or stand a particular position for the body .  We done this  so that we all understand what a posture is . 

We then had a  debate about what we all personally thought how a good posture and bad posture should look majority of the class agreed that a good posture is when you sitting with your back straight or standing .

thursday 25th Robs lesson unit 6

During Robs lesson we worked on our play as a class we done our first scene were we have the school children's crossing  the road and  . We had the lolly pop man who was played by phemi .                                                                                             His role was to try stop us from running across the road and to walk pass safely , and our task as school children we had to be unruly we had to take the Mick out of him . The other scene we done was the bus driver scene which is the role i played my role had to be someone very grumpy and annoying , i didn't like school kids and i tried my best to get them off my bus as possible.  

Unit 7. ( Rebbeccas lesson)

T                                                                                                                During tutorial  we worked on custom designing to do with our groups with Miley Cyrus .  We were given two sheets of paper and we had to design our own costume for her to wear our aim was to see the contrast between both pictures                                                                           . So that means that both picture has to have a difference  for example in this outfit Miley is wearing a very bright  pink top and skirt with big glasses . And in  this second picture you see that she has a clear plastic type of thing underneath these colourful bubbles on top of it . 

 We also all together as  a class were given two  sheets of paper design our own costume  for Miley .   We were in a group of six so they was two drawn by one person we had to vote together what costume we felt like looked the best and why . 

 The image above is the picture of all of our worked we produce and the picture below are the two we chose out of the selection we had.   i think we done a goo together as a group choosing these two design because it was very creative how they used a ice cream  and a emoji , and you can see the difference between both picture which was our aim . 



 

How we done this as a group was by designing  it with some colour in pencils and paint or some cotton wool . 
   This would be very useful in future in many other subjects just in different forms .

Week 2

I had my tutor Rebecca first in the evening and we started setting up our blog 

Later I had Rob  we played some warm up games together as a class , We  done this so it could help improve on our confidence and help  us how to improvise 

 Throughout the rest of the week we done some research  about safe guards. Looking for the importance of them the reason there here and how  they effect youths that are 18 and under 

The day after we did some more research on our assignment and the roles we have been given to research

Day after we had Rob we was working on our performance we rehearsed scene 1 and 2 

PERFORMANCE DAY introduction to production

 Our first performance went well  the hole process was very difficult but we pulled through  . There was a lot of agreements and disagreement going on in the group along with me and Lucas but we eventually got it together .   The performance was really good on my personal opinion am very happy with myself that I've achieve one of my main target, which was stage fright I get scared depending on how big the audience is .   But I gain some confident and I looked pass that .    The role I was given was Jacobs fiancé in the play .  The play was about two best friends going away to join the army then he meets a nice young lady . They fall  in love and  then there was a attack and the fiancé ends up dying . As for John who's  Jacob in the play looses his arm  , we do  a emotion scene with him and his daughter as she witness him die .     My targets throughout the play was to be more passionate with my fiancé (Jacob)  show my emotion towards him .

The main issue I had during the play was the story line I didn't enjoy it at first but we work together as a team to tell it as scripted .

 My weekness through out the play would be hugging Jacob .. I found it very awkward  but I manage to pull through it . I believe our strength in our group was the killing scene were both me Jacob and Lucas got killed by the bomb .

I felt like the Performances went great we all Remebered our scripts we played our roles correctly we all was also very confident on stage and stayed in role the hole time . I personally think a target for me would have to be eye contact I want to be able to have eye contact within the audience .

Horror filming. Unit 5

 During  lesson  we watched a short clip of nosferatu to give us an mid set on how silent horror movies would look like .

I feel like watching it helps me know what type of skills I would need to achieve how to do silent movie correctly and use correct body languages and gestures and ect . 

Me and my group worked together on a peace were there's a group of friend  and they set up one friend and Turtore him 

 Working together was really easy because we used great communication skills and listened to each other so everything was done well . 

 After that we worked as a group together and drew each scene out on paper and wrote a mini paragh at the bottom explaining what going on in the picture  . This was done to help the media group know what happens when and why .  This can help me in future for team work 

JANUARY 22ND

 MANDYS WORK

 working out increases the amount of  slow-twitch muscle fibre in your body, the kind of fibre which tires less quickly and it gives you energy and this is because no spectator likes  watching a actor sweat through the performance it should   

Silent movie unit 5

 The process of the hole silent movie project was very long we had been put into groups of 5 , we then also had the opportunity to choose what our movie would be about  .    The  theme about the horror movies were horror . Within my group it was DZyire  Maya , Alex and Mauribah   We had around 2 weeks to come up with a peace .  We had changed our ideas around 3 times because it was very difficult to mentain in the group because not everyone was comfortable doing certain roles . Our first  ideas  was about a group of friend who didn't like one friend and they decided to set him up and torture him . We all enjoyed this one and found it very good  but we had to change it because Mauribah wouldn't focus and we found it very annoying .         We complain to rob about on many occasions and had decided to give him a easier role . WeBefore we started filming we had to change our plan and combine both groups together , this effect our group a little bit but not as much since as the other group had a similar story line . Our story was about 4 teenagers coming back from a night out and decided to crash at one of  my lake houses  which  hasn't been visited in over a year 

The four friends visit the lake house and found a ouiji board they decided to play it with the board . Then after a while they all started to die one by one 


Filming with the media students was a good thing cause it taught me personally a lot of stuff that I didn't really know before and the tricks they use while recording 

I found the process kinda long but hopefully it would be worth it  the kind of stuff I had to do that I didn't expect to do as much was doing certain Scenes in slow motion or close up so it builds up tension and shows a lot more detail

Mandys lesson unit 6

In  lesson we had a discussion about  why we think its important for an actor to be fit .  I personally think actors should be  fit because  most actors are active  so being fit will help  them .    We then done some  workouts such as planks  were you have to hold your body weight up for 30 seconds .  

  The benefits of doing planks would give you a toned belly , Planking will help build your deep inner core muscles that lay the groundwork for that six-pack look. As your abdominal muscles become stronger, your mid-section will tighten..

 

  We also done some push up  which i found very difficult  because i hardly ever work out .  Doing push ups you had to mainly use your upper body and push your body going up and down .  The benefits of doing push ups are an improvement within your posture  Whether you sit at a computer all day or simply ignored the nagging recommendations from your mother or teachers, improper posture can destroy your health and comfort as you age. One of the most common reasons for a lack of proper posture is weak core muscles. 

 .
In order to properly hold your shoulders and back, your entire core must be strong enough to support its vertical positions. When push ups are properly executed, the muscles responsible for supporting posture are strengthened and fine-tuned. Moreover, as you regularly engage in push ups, your body will naturally lean toward proper posture. This is one of the most influential passive benefits of push ups.

 



   We then ended the lesson off by  doing some stretching this is to help us  to prevent any pain for the day after or if you have pulled any muscle . These workout could be useful too do in the future as a actor to stay fit . Actors would defiantly have to stay fit so if they was on stage they wouldn't look tired or anything . For example if you was to  do musical theater   you would need a lot of energy because you  have to  both sing and act at the same time .    You would see this if a actor would be singing and running at the same time a normal actor that doesn't work out would probably be out of breathe but if you work out and keep fit you wouldn't be as tired and your posture would be amazing .  

This can be useful in the future  if i was to do musical theater or work in  a theater  which is something i would  try  doing in the future .     I would also be comfortable singing and dancing at the same  time if i keep my fitness up  .
