Drama

After all the research in our lessons and at home like looking at our roles in the group and also looking at all the aspects of hoe to make drama and using different drama conventions we finally began to make our piece of T.I.E. Following our calendar we had to make shore our script was done i wanted to try my hand at this so i volenteered to write out the first draft. I feel i did relativaly well at this as seen as it was the first draft i got to really bring the charecters of our divorce piece there words. However i already did have an idea what feel the cahrecters should have as we had done some hot-seating on the actors. After the script was written my group members read it and gave me some feedback we then together perfected it. After this we started out on the acual play our first scene was a simple argument we then however looked through ur play and agreed it was too natural so we looked through the drama conventions we had researched. We noticed we could turn the argumen into physical theatre i felt this was a great idea so we went through some different ideas and filmed them to dicide what worked we left it at this for the holidays. Upon our return a fellow member of the group had worked on creating some extra ideas that she videos which were really really good . So i went through it with her and rehersed it untill it was smooth and memorized.   

Music

Throughout rehersing our song we made allot of creative changes. As we started off with the song been sung to just a gutar this however we felt wasn't intresting enough so we encoperated another group members ability to play the cornet for more effect we also added a piano which would play chords in the background. we played it a few times in this method as i wasn't very expirienced in music and whilst playing the piano i wasn't able to keep in time so they changed it to just the guitar and cornet i personally thought it sounded really good like that. However my group decided they would change the guitar for a piano which still sounded good. Once again i tried to get involved by doing the beat in the background with a tamborine but still couldnt keep in time. I was rather dissapointed a wasn't able to contribute in performing i was however infulencial in writing the music which i am happy with.

We continued to talk about our roles in the group in a more serious way we decided not just on our own but talked about each overs roles i was said to be a director or an actor however all the people in the group were said to be those. As homework we were told to make a table on all our different skills for everyone in the group looking at over peoples i learnt that i need to be allot more orginised and sensible. Allot of my feedback was about how i need to orginise myself i mis allot of homework and this doesn't help me progress with my work. At the end of the day my group was given a rather large calander to plan what dates everything must be done within planing and things like that. We set dates for the script, learnt lines and rehersals to make shore all was done.

In music Mr Truscot talked to us about starting to write a song to link to our T.I.E peice we decided to write lyrics then put the melody over it. First we had to write some ideas on words for the lyrics. Since our piece was on divorce we came up with words like sadness, unfair, leaving, parents and things like that. We came up with a few lyrics.

In music we spoke about what skills we bring into our group. I felt that my biggest impact was my ability to make allot of creative ideas in order to make all our different pieces of work that little bit more interesting. I also have a ability to work well in groups and will follow instructions. i could however improve on the way i manage my emotions like if i cant do something well i will be annoyed with myself which sometimes is not productive.

We also showed some pieces of music that we thought suted the image of a sunrise and a man stood in darkness for them both i thought that classical music can inspire different effects and could be very usefull i didnt now much cassical music though and couldnt name any.

Then we were given a short tune to play and a few people were on xylophone some on glockenspiel and some on keyboard the different groups played at different times and some were told to play faster or slower but was very different in each way and changed the sound allot.
