How i feel playing my character Percival

Percival 

Playing percival character was  hard but at the same time was easy because i had act like i was seven year old  and I had to pretend that I was crying which was hard , however the two things that was easy for me that had to act like I was confused about what's going on in the island and I had to ask a lot of questions to piggy ( Renique) and Ralph ( shantai) .

Technical rehearsal and dress rehearsal

Wednesday 10th

Technical Rehearsal and dress rehearsal

Today was our last day to rehearsal and improve our play. Before we did that group one had go one stage  play while Jackie sorting out the lighting , while group one was saying line Jackie had to stop them , so she know when to change the light  . when Jackie finished doing lighting , group and two had rehearsal and go through our lines , i was really nerves because it was our first performing in front friends and family  and plus it was part of our exam. Level 3 and our group came together for dress rehearsal and we had to perform in front of each other , i was really afraid that i was gonna forget my line but me and my group performed i forgot that people was there and i cant see anyone which gave me more confidence. i think that the Level 3 performance was really good , their play was  interesting.

We didn't have all of the props because we didn't have enough time but these are the props we supposed to have :
Props
Spears - sticks 
face paint

My Character: Percival

Percival 

The character that im playing is percival. He is seven years old who confused which side he should be on .  percival is the youngest out of the group , his quiet person and his innocent and also naive but when he join Jack crew his loose his innocent by trying to kill Ralph . percival is type who question alot and he wants some one to protect him like Piggy and Ralph and he also cries alot because he thinks there a beast in the island but its just his imagination .

similarity between Me and Percival 

Two things that me and Percival in common , when we don't understand something  , we ask alot of questions and we both quiet but what's different between  me and Percival , im a loud person sometimes and i don't cry unless its a serious situation.

My Evaluation

 Monday 20^th

Reflection on acting skills

Today we performed in front of Level 2 students, all of us was nervous but at the same time was excited to show our performance and tell our stories and show what we experience in the past. When it was time for me to do my monologue, I was just thinking how was gonna say it and i felt kinder edgy. When level 2 gave us feed backs, three students said that my monologue was really good and they said also can see my emotions while I was reading my monologue and one of them said my voice was unique which gave me confidence. However I need to improve voice by projecting my voice. Some of the level 2 said Timothy did a great job continue with play because if he didn’t, we wouldn’t able to continue with the play which I’m really glad that he continue, if he didn’t, the level 2 student will focus on the accident, instead the of the play and the level 2 also said that Monica did a good job on her monologue, they said when Monica was saying her monologue, they can see her emotions.

 My facial expression has improved, when I was saying my monologue, my face was serious to show that it was my time to tell my story and what I been though. I played three character for example in the IVF I was Ty grandma, in the hospital scene I was pretend that I was waiting for my appointment and I also play the cleaner. I could perform better by putting energy and also show more emotions. When Timothy fall on the table , I came out of role because I really shocked what happened and the only thing I was thinking , are we still gonna do our play , in the future if something happen while doing the play , I'm gonna stay in role. My ensemble has improve for example when it was time for us to go in stillness, no one didn't move. What did well on the slow motion, I think I did ok slow motion and I also moved at the same time with the others.

Reflection on production skills

My role for the production was props, on the day the performance I didn’t really a lot of props, me and my group was supposed to bring a picture frame Nadeen and an object for Monica. Before the show I had to make sure that the props was in the right place for example the broom, I had to put it behind the curtains. During the show I had to give one of the character broom, when I finished doing my monologue. After the perform I had to put props back where I got it from. What handle well was putting the props in the right place and I stayed clam because I knew that it was in the right place, I didn’t support another role because they knew what they doing and I didn’t take another task, I just stuck with the props.  What I can do better, is to bring props for the people that needs it for their scene. I still have the same role for the next show, I will make sure that everyone has their props and the also put the props in the places. The advice I will give myself is to bring the props.

Reflection as a Team?

We had to wear all black and the props was set correctly. I didn’t support any on stage because knew what they was doing and I didn’t save anyone because everyone knew their lines. There was no distraction, everyone was focused, especially me.  I think we don’t need to improve our team work because we prepared and we set up everything and we did it together. What we need improve is to stay in character when something happens because why Timothy fell, we got out of the character. 

In today lesson Dominique taught us how fight safely by getting us in to pairs but before we got into pair , Dominique got Chaz to help her show skills that we was gonna do .

 The three skill that she taught us was the punch on the face , punch on the stomach and the kick the person on the face. 

The first skill she taught us when you punch some one on the face , you have to use your left arm and your hand to hit your chest to make the sound and use your right arm to punch the person 
on the face , we had to do a facial expression to make it look more realistic . 

Two pair i liked the most was lenna and Nadeen because they put more energy and their facial expression was really good and look so real the way they was moving around while they was fighting . 
The second one was Chaz and Ivon their look real also and the way Ivon punched Chaz on the face look more convincing and also the kick.
I think me and my pair did ok but i think we should of add slow motion and show more emotions but overall our scene was good.
