WEEK 6

Tuesday 13th October 2020

Today i went into college to work backstage for a show. When i arrived we watched a run through of the level 2’s show and i noted down key cues and props i needed to put in place.My team and i then gathered the list of props for the other level 1 show and placed them backstage. When we did a show run through, my job was to stay in the wings and open and close the curtains as the actors can on and off stage.

It was good experience getting to know how backstage works and i actually really enjoyed it. At the end of the day it was time for level 1 and 2 to perform their shows. in which i kept the same job of opening the curtains and bringing things on and off stage.

Wednesday 14th October

Today Was my day to catch up on any incomplete work. I managed to complete my designs for the Cheshire Cat, which has been my target for the previous 2 weeks. I also continued worked on mining the text. I managed to complete most of mining the text but I also had 3 more questions to complete as I needed more time on them. I found mining the text a bit tricky so I completed the easiest questions first then gradually built my way up which was a really good way to tackle the harder questions.

Todays session was a good time to work independently and really focus on finishing any work, which I did.

Thursday 15th October

Today I had the job of preparing the props and costumes for the level 3 Drama show after half term. My class mate and I were sent to find a list of things the show needed and we organised each item of clothing onto the clothing rail with a designated name tag.

Some of the props were hard to find, so we had to make one or two.

In the afternoon, I was sent to the theatre to watch the run through of the performance and I had to note down any thing the group still needed. I think we did a good job of organising most of the props we needed, however there were still some props we needed to gather. I liked watching the run through because It gave me clear indication as to what the show is really about and it was really well performed. I really liked the job of organising all of the props for the show, I think this is because I have good organisation skills.

My Target: My target for this week is to finish the last 3 questions for mining the text and complete the half term project.
