Tuesday 22nd November

Acting Lesson:

• The lesson started by us all getting into pairs, we had to tell our partner our morning all the way up to when we got into school in the chair we were sitting in. After telling our partner our story, they then told us theirs. Each person had 1 minute to tell the other person. After both partners had told each other their stories, we then had to find a new partner and tell each other the stories that we had heard from our previous partners. 
• After we had told our new parents, we then moved again but this time got into a larger group of about 4 or 5 people depending on each group. As before we had to tell everyone the stories that we had heard then had to create a silent piece of acting. My group and I decided that it would be best if we made a small silent film that included parts form everyone's story, we then preformed it to he class after a few short rehearsals.

Movement Lesson: 

• We started the lesson off with  a full body warm up as we usually do as it helps to relax our bodies and warm up which improves movement capability. 
• Once we were done with the warm up we moved onto improving the certain dance moves we had been working on before, after we had completed the entire sequence we then moved onto group work where we had to make a 4-count walking dance piece.
• Upon working on our dance routines, we had to then perform them to the rest of the class.

Production Lesson:

• In this lesson we worked more on the posters that we had created last week. Instead, as I had completed my teaser poster last week, I worked on the creation of my full poster. This took all lesson and I took loads of different ideas from various members of my group. I ended up with this as my final product for now unless I choose to improve on it.

Wednesday (No Lesson)


Thursday 24th November

Acting Lesson:

• We worked on our Silent Movie Project for a small part of the lesson until we had to transition to the music room to work with the music students to start creating the background music that we would have in our Silent Films. I found this incredibly useful as we were able to assess the speed and theme of the music that would work with out production.

Friday 25th November 


Blog Lesson:

• We were given the choice to either work on our our posters that we have created or, to work on our blogs. I decided to work on my blog as I was falling a bit behind.

Acting Lesson:

• Working in small groups, we did various improvisation exercises such as 'Postcard' where you are given a country and have to create a still image based around key features of the country. 
• After this we then moved onto trying to recreate scenes from famous films such as, Godfather, Avatar and Star Wars as before using still images to portray the scenes.
