Reflection for Term 1

Reflection on This Unit

Reflection for this Unit

At the start of this unit I was confused of what Stage Combat meant and I wasn't quite sure what we were going to do.

When we learnt a lot about Stage Combat Miss told us crate a performance that we had to do in pairs and my partner was Noor.
When we started to create our story line we weren't sure of what would be a good problem. So we we had some time was wasted on choosing what it would be. To justify this I think we could've just stuck to one problem and not change. It went quite smooth when we got an idea of what our play is going to be about. We could've added in more technique to the different types of combats. We demonstrated our act using slaps, punches, hair pull and something that we added in the neck snap. To conclude this reflection o would like to say that this has been a very fun unit and I have improved my drama skills from last year Thanks to Miss Ruiz :)

Stage Combat- Mini play

Person A: Serena Richards, a trust worthy person who likes to make new friends and shares her secrets with Veronica Fields someone she THOUGHT was really close.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Person B: Veronica Fields she's got the sass of a mean girl and shouldn't be kept with secrets. She spreads fake rumors

We are fighting because Serena Richards told Veronica fields a secret that she thought Veronica would keep safe. But instead Veronica told everyone and made up fake rumors.

I think it will be successful but probably won't be perfect. I will try my best to react as powerful and as realistic as possible. 

Dialogue:

Serena: (shoves front) why did you do that?
 Veronica: do what?Serena: You told everyone my biggest secret! (Attempts to slap Veronica but Veronica ducks) Veronica: I just told a few friends (slaps Serena) Serena: your not supposed to tell anyone! I thought we were friends and I thought I could trust you! (Attempts to slap Veronica but Veronica blocks) Veronica: (blocking the slap) You still can! It's not that big of a deal! (Veronica punches Serena in the stomach) Serena: (coughing from the stomach punch)Serena: I've had enough of you! (Back slaps Veronica)Veronica:ouch ouch!Serena: (punches Veronica twice in the stomach)Serena: (pulls Veronica's hair)Veronica: ouch! Stop!Serena: I'm done with you! (snaps Veronica's neck)

Partner: Noor

REFLECTION ON STAGE SLAP

Reflection:

Stage slap is a new skill we have learned in Stage Combat. Miss had given us a scenario and we had to include the new skill 'THE STAGE SLAP'. I feel like I need improve on my facial expressions and be more serious when using doing the stage slap. My actions have to have more tension, and use more power. It is a bit hard to get the slap done professionally but we can improve through the term. In the stage slap I feel like I also need to add a bit of melodrama not too much but just a few skills and techniques.

New Unit

Debatable: How realistic a stage combat in different movies? How do they create sound: body knaps or pre recorded sound effects?

Reflection for This Unit

Reflection
This unit I have developed confidence and more dramatic acts. I feel that after this unit i can use more dramatic scenes and act with more confidence. This unit the teamwork we had was very successful and I actually enjoyed this movie because we had a lot of dramatic scenes and I liked the costumes we had they were also very successful like the mermaid tail. Each of us had a role for example I had to finish the poster and help with the editing. As a team I worked collaboratively with Mayukh, Jonas and Nadia and it was AWESOME! Movies and films can sometimes change the ways we see the world like for example movies like 'BASSED ON A TRUE STORY' so things like global warming and robbery and many unwanted things happening around the world so sometimes directors try to make movies based on those scenes. I saw the reactions of the people they were laughing and all but then I saw one of my classmates yawning and so then I thought me and my group members could've been more melodramatic and show more interest. I could use the confidence that I gained while making these melodramatic movies in other subjects like History, English, Science, Geography etc. This is because we usually presentations in these subjects and I was just a bit frightened when I do presentations but I recently just did a PRESENTATION in History and I was quite confidence so Drama really helped me to gain back my confidence.
