17th May!

On the 17th of May, we the results from our last unit. I got a B, which I thought was alright.

  12 = C
  24 = B
  36 = A
  48 = A*

The part I was lacking in was feedback, which was a difficult part because the only people who got the most feedback were the ones who's videos were actually put forward to the panel, I feel. I'm happy with my mark, because it could have been worse. We know for the current unit that feedback is VERY important.

In rehearsals, we got a little distracted by props again. We had the skeleton out again. We had a scarf(or something like a scarf) draped behind it and we stuck some fake flowers through it to see if it would make a nice effect. I think it looked too busy, and though it made the prop stand out, it was too much.However, we managed to get a few run throughs done though. Tom, Francesca and Sebs piece is looking really good, I recorded it and now only little bits need fixing. Their movement between scenes is really interesting because it's not just simply walking from one place to another. There's slamming of chairs, ect.

One problem I noticed was getting the dress off the skeleton in time for the next scene. It needs to be on there to add an effect that it's small and the main character was very skinny, but the dress snags on the bones of the skeleton and it's difficult to get off. This would affect the pace of the drama which could possibly leave the audience a little confused or the skeleton could possibly fall apart, which would be very annoying. Other ways the pace could be slowed down was if someone forgot a line or missed lines. This would leave the other actors confused and could lead to loss of confidence for the person who forgot/missed a line.
