09/01/23 - Connections and learning about our chosen characters.
In this lesson we were asked which character we would like to audition for and learn about. I chose Stefi. We were then put into groups with the other people who also chose the same character as you to go into detail about the character. I was in a group with Millie S, Charley and Millie T. We wrote about what she might be feeling in each scene and what her main feeling is overall in the play. We also thought about some main questions like, What would her nickname be? Who does she care most about in the play? We do this to get into character because then you know all about her life which means you can perform even better. We then shared with the class what our ideas were and took on others feedback and opinions to develop the character further.
In today's lesson we learnt about self tapes with Kane and how to make the best ones possible, he showed us what our background should be, which is a plain background either solid black or white are the best background colours to use. he also showed us how close we should be to the camera and the best angles to use. Today Dev volunteered to go in front of the camera so we could see a physical demonstration.
After this we then carried on getting to know our chosen character from connections, pairing up with the younger version of ourselves and seeing what their notes were to form a whole background on why Stefi acts the way she does now.
11/01/23 - going into depth about characters - asking personal questions about our chosen character.
Today we carried on with what we did yesterday by asking ourselves what our characters answers would be to personal questions.
12/01/23 - talking about feature films - told about screen tests - watched 'Education, Education, Education'.
In today's lesson we learnt about our feature film 'Unbroken'. Even though i have decided i would not like to be in this i still wanted to learn about how the audition process would go for future opportunities. We learnt that its okay not to always be off script because you wont be able to see it if it is a self tape. However if its an in person audition try and be off script so u can show the most amount of emotion.
After this we then watched the degree students performance 'Education, Education, Education'.
