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.

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.

My Movie

Production Sheet

1. What characters are you playing?

Hero- Jonas- Daniel Dogood

Damsel- Snow White- Nadia

Friend of damsel- Mermaid- Tanya

Villain- Joey Suspicious- Mayukh

Servant of villain- Alfred- Jonas

2.

Convention 1: The villain asking the magical mirror whether he is the greatest in the world. This convention will be used in the start of the story to introduce the villain because this convention portrays how the villain can't tolerate anyone being greater than him therefore he will harm anyone greater than him.

Convention 2: The servant of the villain not killing Snow White. This convention will be used in the part where the villain orders the servant to go kill Snow White and bring her heart to him but the servant instead brings the heart of a pig. The convention demonstrates how the servant is scared of the villain therefore can't tell the villain that he doesn't want to perpetrate what he is been ordered to do although he is a good person as he doesn't do anything to Snow White.

Convention 3: The damsel taking the apple from the villain. This convention will be used during the dilemma as that is when Snow White faints after eating the poisonous apple. This convention shows how dumb the damsel is and how she trusts anyone including strangers.

What costume will you wear? Why?  

 Hero: Bright colored costume with a bright red cape because bright colors symbolizes the bravery of the hero and also it makes him look more like a good guy. 

Villain: Dark colored costume e.g. Black jacket and etc because dark colors represent villain as a villain's mind is filled with evil plans and those are never meant to have a good ending.

Servant of villain: Something normal (not very good clothing).

Damsel: Something cute and the color of clothing should be something light not dark colored because dark colors also 

represent someone much more serious and harsh whereas light colors represent  what a damsel is; fun, loving and immature.

Friend of damsel: Should wear a colorful costume like a mermaid and should have a mermaid tail.

What props do you need? Why?

• We need a mirror because it will tell the villain that he is not the greatest of them all.
• A tray and a hand fan when Alfred comes to the king after being called.
• Something representing a pig and something representing its heart.
• A dog as Snow White's pet.
• An apple for the part when the villain gives Snow White a poisonous apple

There group had and amazing video they used many different sounds which suited each scene. i could recognize that Samia was the Maiden because if the way she dressed up but maybe she could've over exaggerated a bit more and be more melodramatic. Overall this group had amazing team work.

This group had some technical problems which was ok but maybe they shouldn't have described each scene very detailed.

Reflection:
This was a very fun experience and a very cooperative experience to.
I had a lot of fun shooting the video and working together. I suggest
that next time we use more costumes be a bit more over exaggerated and show more melodrama. I guess since this was our first time in the future projects we would have improved. I hope we do more projects like this and more group work.

This group had an amazing movie and the sounds they used were really good and really funny. They demonstrated each role very melodramatically. Mille was playing with her which showed that she was the maiden.
