1)Why is conflict often an
important part of a drama presentation? Explain.
I think that conflict is important in a drama presentation
because you can have a lot of emotions, gestures and different tones when you
talk and usually the conflict in a presentation is the most interesting part to
the viewers and it makes them pay attention because some conflict could be
fights and many people enjoy watching fights happen whether it is physically or
verbally.
2)Give an
example of one lesson when you created conflict in your drama scene and say how
you did it. (pauses, gestures, action, dialogue etc)
The last presentation that we did involve conflict when
two of the characters were arguing using dialogue and hand gestures and the
whole topic was about to raise awareness.
3) How did
you demonstrate creativity in your final video task? Give examples of how you
tried
new things or
were thinking outside the box.
When we did our final video it was mostly the hand
gestures and the dialogue that made it look creative because when we edited it
at the end we made the sad scenes black and showed how it was a sad story.
4) Do you
think your message was clearly communicated in your video or could you have
improved it? If so, how?
I think that in our video it did clearly show what the
message was but we could have made it more creative and have less dialogue in
the video and have one of our group voice record it to make it more interesting
and unique, at the end of the video we did write down what the problem was.
5) Think back to your
performances at the beginning of term two, and now your current performances;
do you think you have improved or developed any drama skills? (vocal skills
such as: clarity of diction, inflection, accent, intonation and phrasing; pace,
pause and timing; projection, pitch; emotional range, or physical skills such
as movement, body language, posture, gesture, stillness, timing, control;
facial expression; eye contact, interaction with other performers)
Yes, I do think that I have improved from the beginning of term
2 until now because I have found more ways of communicating and my vocal skills
when I am preforming and depending on the scene, and I know now where to stand
and how I should be positioned when I talk anot have my back turned. I now know
that body language and using different getures is important and could add more
effect on the play. I gained a lot of confidence during this term but I could
use more emotion when I am preforming.
