We also all chose our favourite one and wrote down what we liked about it and what we didn't like about it.  Friday 16th February: a reflection with our tutor Tom where we looked at...

Tuesday: learnt about mise en scene we learnt about staging of some sort of a film we did any films you could think of we also tried to find the lighting, colour, location and a lot more to do with mise en scene  its also the setting and the arrangements of the theatre scene.  Wednesday:  we discussed the end of year performance and about comic con and did some more of blocking for our performance we have done the home scenes for our show we are now starting to find what sort of stuff we do in our home scenes we practiced with each other then showed it with everyone else  thursday: we went with the level 3 actors and we did different types of acting games with kelly and the actors and kelly gave us a start and a end line and we had to act it out infront of everyone else.   What we did on Friday 2nd February 2024 is we started to work on our last full performance of this year which is Murder Mystery 

 On week 18 we learnt about different shot types for example we had close ups, extreme closeups, long shot, POV shot, over the shoulder shot, cowboy shot, and full shot and there is a lot more  film shots you can have but we had a go at doing shots so we got 2 cameras and we got in our groups and we had a go at practising some of the shots we have had a look at and we had a go and then Kane came to check if they were right then he gave us another shot and we had to create the scene.  Some production roles there are loads of stuff to do with film and tv there are casting director, director, editor, locations manager, camera trainee, and costume trainer. For our rehearsals we practiced our lines and tried to keep remembering them so when we get to the filming we dont need to use our scripts we can just remember of the top of our head the results and I remembered my lines after a couple of tries but I got there in the end.  

What we did for week 17 is we were finding some scripts for our film so we could later on in the year can start filming our film which our groups will decide what scripts we will use. we looked at self tapes with Kane and Abbigail on Tuesday and self tapes are an audition video that an actor records and films themselves so they can send them to work places tutors teacher and a lot of other people who would need to see your self tape. For the self tape an actor would perform a scene or a monologue. A monologue is a long speech of text spoken by one character from a play or a film.  So what we did for finding scripts in groups are Tom and Abbi put us into groups so I was in a group with Jay and Alfie and me and we went online and we went to find one script we all agreed on to do for our film and we chose Halloween which is a horror movie. we picked this script because we all found it like a scripts we could all memorise. 

So what we did on week 16 is we did we got ideas of monologues of a website and we started to create our own monologues/ started them of which i sort of started it but when the lesson was almost finished i had did the plan and didn't start the actual thing but i got the plan done. the next thing we did during the week is we did about Konstantin Stanislavski and also learnt about him.
