Dance research on friday!

11/3/2011

   This Friday me and my peers were told that for dance we had to basically create a leaflet that could inform and introduce people to different dance opportunities in Lambeth. I think the whole point of us having to do it just in the area of Lambeth was so it was difficult for us and not easy, because there are only a few places in Lambeth with Dance opportunities and you have to search thoroughly to find them. I found it very difficult personally because as i said there wasn't many places to look on the Internet and you have to look thoroughly just to find one. After a while though i did find it a little bit easier because, i found different links that lead me to good websites, e.g. Siobhan studios which introduced opportunities for disabled people, One of the royal ballet schools, FCD's summer school which is for disabled people, Miss.Shrubb let me pick the pineapple studios to put on my list because she said that it is a great opportunity for people want to do dance as it includes things like, street dance, jazz, contemporary, yoga tap etc.
   I had nine different dance locations which included opportunities for people who want to do it as a career e.g. dance therapist, dance teacher things like that. There were a couple of places i found where disabled people had the chance to dance. And there were just places where you could just go there do dance and have fun.
   I don't feel that i could have done any better because i put a lot of effort into it.

First week back on friday!

3/3/2011

The first Friday back, we didn't do anything that had to do with our diploma class, for the whole day we were helping out Miss.Williams with the publicity for the year 11's diploma festival. All we did that day was laminate posters to stick up all around the school, and fold leaflets for the day of the festival. When all the posters were laminated i offered to take them and stick them all around the school there was around 30 of them, and i went out by myself to stick them up. Apparently our trailer for our horror film was played during the years 11's festival.

Last day of filming!

18/2/2011

It was the last day of filming, and me Aaliyah and Jessica was the only people that were meant to be filming because everyone else had finished filming their parts. Me and Aaliyah came into school wearing our costumes, unfortunatley Jessica didnt know she was meant to be filming with us and so she did not come wearing the right costume. With the help of one of our teachers, he was able to crop parts of Jessica out so that you could not see her incorrect costume.
  We filmed quite a few scenes, e.g. me and Aaliyah did some more running scenes across the hallways and corridors and down some stairs. We did the scene where Tammy(me) finds courtney(Aaliyah) and Kourtney(Jessica) and explains how Dawn(Shanel) died and this is also the scene where Tammy admits how she believes Courtney about the story she told everyone. Another scene that we did was when Tammy and Courtney had to set up the camera outside the cupboard and then hide. After we had finished filming our short productin we all went off to edit it.
  During the past few weeks i have learnt quite a lot about filming and how to be an actor and how things work, in the begining i found it very difficult to gasp onto the ways of acting, bu the more and more that i was filming i felt for comfortable infront of the camera and more confident. Actually being behind the scenes and working the camera was really fascinating, i learnt how to work the camera properley, e.g. working the zoom, working the Tripod, and using the camera in such a way that i create a spectacular image. Throughout the hole term of filming though i have found that keeping a straight face on camera is really hard and there have been times where i just couldnt help myself and would just break out laughing but i have learnt to control that.
Overall i have really enjoyed the experience.
