On Tuesday 31st March, t his is the Costume I will be wearing when performing my monologue as India. India's costume  I chose this costume because my character India loves fashion, so she would wear clothes that are trendy and seen on today’s high street.  Idea for India's costume  from mood board This image was featured on my mood board when I was creating my characters look. It is a style that is worn by young people who are confident and love fashion. India is someone who enjoys being looked at, she loves getting attention from anyone that will make her feel wanted and loved. How she looks is important to her because she feels her life is a movie so she must look perfect everyday and ready for the camera to start filming.

On Thursday 27th March, after videoing myself rehearsing my monologue, I am not sure if I am going to use a glass to drink from as I thought it did not fit the scene. I think I will make my mind up in a couple of days. At the moment I am really pleased with how rehearsals are going. I have learnt my lines and I am taking my time.

On Monday 16 th  March,  we got into pairs and read our monologues to each other. I partnered with Louis. His monologue is about a group of teenagers who bully someone to their death, but later find out he is still alive . I thought Louis should say his monologue in a slower and clearer voice because I felt he had rushed his speech. This also showed that he was not in character. We were then given these four emotions: Happy Sad Confused Joyous We took turns to perform, the class choose the emotion for each of us to do. With my monologue, I was told to perform in a confused way. After performing Rob believed that I should talk from my stomach as I was talking from my throat. Talking from your stomach helps your voice become clearer and louder, the audience will be able to hear and see a better performance from you. I will learn from that when rehearsing at home. On Tuesday 17 th March, we made a profile for our monologues character. We wrote about who are ...

On Monday 9th March, we were put into groups of three. We had to choose from the options below and do a performance:    Receiving bad news  In court  I worked with Henok and Kenroy. We chose the option “receiving bad news”.   Our performance was discovering who my dad is. Henok played my dad and Kenroy was the investigator. We worked as a team, we listened to each other’s ideas and that made the story grow. Our performance was based on me hiring an investigator to find out where my dad was. Kenroy told me my dad was dying from cancer. When I go to the hospital to meet him for the first time, I read a letter that he wrote for me. It was about how sorry he was for leaving me when I was little and he only did it to protect me. After reading the letter my dad dies.  Shenagh wanted us to do our performance again because she wanted me to focus on my character. After performing for the second time, she said I used my facial expressions very w...

On Monday 2nd March, we studied mime . We were given scenes to perform. The options for us where: Making your favourite food Babysitting and giving them food Making food for your boyfriend but putting poison in it as he cheated on you Being a chef and acting like Gordon Ramsey I chose to mime a scene where I poison my boyfriend. After performing Shenagh told me I had good facial expressions but I should be clear about what I am making in the kitchen.So I need to make my movements more clear and exaggerated so the audience know what I am doing.   We then got into our Silent Movie groups and rehearsed our performance. We then went over it in front of the class. Shenagh gave us feedback.  Our feedback:  Make our  facial expressions more over the top to show our emotions. Take our time .  Shenagh then gave us all a word, we had to use facial expressions to show what that word meant.  E.g:  "confused" we frowned. ...
