Media !!
14/10/10
For the first time in Media today i actually had fun, and i think everyone else did too.
When everyone made it to the lesson, Mrs.Greig escorted all of us to a room that personally i haven't been before. It was a room filled with a different range of lights, a camera facing a wall, There was curtains up against the walls that u can move and make it a different colour for the different picture we took. We all got exited and Miss let us take some photos of each over for a bit to get used to the camera we was using, and then we got to work.
Mrs.Greig showed us the different lights, and stuff you can put over some of them to change the colour of the lighting. At one point we was in the dark and there was these small lights, and there was one person on each side of the lights and they had to do different shapes in the air and all around, the reason for this was because Mrs.Greig changed the settings on the camera so that it didn't take the picture normally, it would take a little bit longer, and once the picture was taken everyone gathered round the photo to find the picture looked amazing, it was pitch black but you could see the lights, and it looks like the lights had been smudged across the screen in different shapes, and it looked really nice. Hopefully i can get a picture and put it on my next blog.

This is a audio of the song ' Watcha talkin bout ' that we did.
In yesterdays lesson we was all playing on the Steel pans again.
We carried on with ' Winter wonderland ' and as always i play on the Tenor pan. I've started to notice that when we first started playing on the steel pans there was three people on the Tenor pan, me Jessica and Ilenia, and i don't find the Tenor pan hard to play, but as i watch my classmates who also play the same pan as me i noticed that they find it very hard to play it, they even said it themselves. As Damilola quit, Ilenia agreed with Mr.Fox that she should give another Pan a go and so she started to play the pan that Damilola used to play. I though personally she was much better on it.
During the lesson we didn't get as much as i would have liked done, the reason for this is because Naomi wasn't there to play the main Pans, so Mr.Fox couldn't help us all because he was everywhere trying to play the Pans and helping people that we didn't actually get to do a lot.This is a audio of the song ' Watcha talkin bout ' that we did.

Drama !!
Drama:
Today in Drama, we did our first successful run through of Jack and the Bean stalk all the way through. Unfortunatley Damilola who was doing creative and media diploma and played the role of The Landlord quit the course, and so now a person more suited to the role is now playing the role of The Landlord, and their name is me. I am happy that i got the part so now i have two parts, my other part of which i play The Giant, even though it means i have to work extra hard to learn my lines, it will hopefully be worth it.
Last week my class did a Presentation but as i was absent i didn't do it so i need to catch up.
Dance !!
Dance:
Today in Dance we had a double lesson, and Mrs.Shrubb's instructions for the lesson was to choreograph a dance to the music she gave us.
I worked with Chanel, i thought personally we were good partners because we both had good technique so we did well together. We made a really good dance which Mrs.Shrubb videoed and took pictures of which i will post soon. We used different techniques to our dance e.g ( Jose Limon technique, free flowing movements etc.) we did jumps, contraction and floor movements.
After we preformed in front of the class, Miss made us lie down on the floor and lie very still for about half an hour but it was hard to tell because we was all in our own world, during the time we was all lying down miss was telling us thing we should do and whats happening e.g ( Breath right down to the bottom on your lungs, and when you breath out your hole body will be Numb stuck to the floor e.t.c) at the end of our breathing session, when we all got up, i found that i wasn't flushed anymore or really hot and my hole body felt relaxed. By that time it was the end of the lesson.

For the past couple of weeks I've only done music due to my illness so i was absent a lot.
For the lessons i have been present for, me and my class have been playing the steel pans. I think that i am actually quite good at playing it, Me and jessica play the tenor pans, and its really fun because we get to do most of the tunes. I have noticed that jessica finds it very hard to adapt to the work we are given, but when she can do it she plays really good.
The first song we learnt was 'watcha talking bout' and i found that was quite easy, though our second song we are doing ' winter wonderland ' gets really hard towards the middle, but i like a challenge. This is pretty much all we have been doing in music.
