Reality TV reflection

1) How have your characterisation skills developed in this reality TV unit? (give examples) 
I am now more confident with preforming in front of my class an change my personality. With my first video that i did as my character I was not exactly sure of how to actor what to say, but i had more practice through video's and now I understood what my character is meant to say or do. I have a better understanding of how to act like and my character has not really changed throughout the topic its juts the way I speak now is louder and I an now more confident in my character. 

2) What target can you identify for yourself in order to improve on your characterisation skills next term? 
I can practice my performances before doing the actual play to make it better for the audience and also now how to work with other people because everyone has their own way of understanding things so maybe if the whole group cooperated and communicated with each other it could always make the performance better. I could also improve with my blogs and write more to it and make it more detailed 

3) How can you improve your homework when completing written work about the practical explorations in class? 
I can video or picture everything that we did in class so I wont forget what happened in class and I will use more detail and information to explain my work and to make the person that is reading this understand exactly what is going on. I can include an evaluation in my work like what went well and what went bad and what needs improvement in our play.

4) What have you most enjoyed about this unit? 
I enjoyed working with my friends and my classmates and making the video's more fun for us to watch. I also enjoyed being a different character that is not me because it is fun doing something that I am not used to be. 

5) What was your greatest achievement in drama this term?
Achieving a 6 and working with many different people in a short amount of time

Reality TV debate

Reality TV debate 

1) Do you think reality TV is more 'entertaining' than dramas or documentaries? Why/why not?

Yes I do think that reality TV is more interesting because this shows what really happens when people do not act and now you know how people act in real life towards other people in the show, but in my opinion i don't think that drama is the best genre there is, I prefer others more than documentaries, dramas and reality TV.

2) What moral or ethical problems might there be with a programme like Big Brother that is filming its contestants 24 hours a day? Explain.

I think that it is not the most wise idea of having the cameras following the contestants everyday 24 hours and not giving them privacy, because I do believe that people should get privacy especially when they need to go to the bathrooms. I also believe that people would want to be alone at some point if there was a problem going on which usually happens in reality TV shows. 

3) What reasons do you think some contestants might have for quitting a reality TV programme?

Some people might quit reality TV because of all the problems that there may be and for example Big Brother, some people may think that it si an invasion to their privacy. Also they don't want to get judged by the media and the people and maybe they cant handle the hate that they are getting. 

4) How 'real' is the action or coverage that we see in reality TV programmes? Explain.

As far s we can see everything looks real but sometimes they could plan things or a script behind the scenes thinking that it might entertain us. We can never fully trust the media because their could be rumours their could be lies but reality TV was meant for the truth behind everything. 

  

Emotional Entrances

Question:                                                                          8/10/2017

Emotional Entrances 

a) Explain one moment where you are using body language in an obvious way to indicate your emotional reaction to the situation. (What are you doing exactly and why?) 

When it was the first time to walk into the Big Brother House and it was a shock for me and my character is a person who is in love or obsessed with how she must look and how others look and judges them by their outside (like their cloths, hairstyle, if their makeup is done correctly etc..) So for that moment I was in a shock which means i opened my mouth slightly but i was always playing with my hair but also seeming shocked. I did this to show  my character is self obsessed but at the same time express my emotions.

b) Write an honest response in character of how you feel about one of the other people you have just met in the house. 

I thought that they were all different and most of them didn't even have a taste in fashion and I have problems with people who don't wear the things that I like. The French guy was too weird and obsessing over his pants that didn't even look that good, the wrestler was too aggressive and violent to talk or even live with me, but the only one that i don't mind was the singer, song-writer girl because just like me she loves style and cares about her look which is who I am looking for being friends with. 

 c) Describe what your character felt upon entering the house and their response to it and initial thoughts.

As soon as i stepped into the house I was shocked because it was so big and full of luxury which i definitely what I am looking for. I stepped inside and then i saw the amazing stairs which lead to where I met everyone. I first thought that they would be a bunch of normal people but then I met that celebrity who is a singer-song writer and actress and that when i thought that we were going to get along just great, that if none of the other people come in and ruin everything while we are enjoying our time here.  

 This is when I first came in 

This is when the singer/songwriter came and we met for the first time

This is when we all met together 

Sorry Miss but when i tried to upload the video it said that it was too long and I did not know which part to cut out.

My character is very self centred and loves the way she looks, and if she saw someone that does not have a good taste in their cloths then she will judge them and start making rude comments about them. Surprisingly she enjoys the outdoors but not necessarily sports just enjoying the fresh air.

Year 9 Work 

Final Reflection

In the last week of the project it was a bit of a mess because we had trouble to find out what we were going to do, there was a bit of a lack of team spirit and management because some people will not get along well with the others but at the end it was better. We had trouble with time management and we needed to get a time extension because we couldn't be done with what we had to do. Some of us had to stay after school to work on this project because we could not finish it in class, the music went well but it was the clay that we had problems with because we could not get the right looks and editing was another big problem because it needed a lot of work. We had to get the pictures to fit in with the music and the narration but at the end we managed to get the work done. I also usually had a few problems with updating my blog. Next tim we should follow the action plan to make sure that we are going to be handing it on time. In conclusion i think that the team worked well with each other and managed to finish the project to improve next time we should make sure we get our work finished on time.

Action Plan

Reflection 1

In our groups we have made a storyboard together and finished off the powerpoint that the teacher gave use to complete. We also finished drawing/sketching the characters that are in the horror story. Some of the art students started to bring in some materials for the project and the music group stated already started with playing the music. There are difficulties in this group because we have 7 people and some of them are hard to work with and that could be a problem. In conclusion the group so far are doing a good job in organisation and communication.

Story Board

Story Telling Research Idea

This is the story that our group decided to make. We decided on making it horror themed because we thought that everyone has moe experience with horror considering that we did a topic about that in English and last term in Creative Art as well.
