wkc level 2 - Amelia Tolga

Unit 9 – production Value My character Susan is in her early twenties, she wears popular clothes to work so the kids know she is young and approachable unlike Mr Briggs who the kids think is old in his appearance and is disliked by everyone at the school. Susan would wear clothes from Topshop, Zara and H&M. For the school trip her outfit would be a smart but casual dress, not too revealing with trainers as there will be lots of walking and she might have to chase after some of the kids if they mess around. Susan’s costume will convey the difference between the teachers and the kids, as the kids will be in school uniform. She would carry a rucksack to hold a first aid kit, sun cream as well as her lunch. Wearing a bright coloured scrunchie on her wrist just in case she wanted to tie her hair up and to show she can be fun and add a bit of colour to her outfit. Wearing a rainproof jacket in preparation for bad weather. The makeup Susan would wear is mascara, blusher and lip bal...

On Monday 11th May, this morning we went over scenes 31 – 41 of “Our Day Out” with Rob and Shenagh. Everyone was focused on their lines so reading the script went smoothly. However, because of bad internet connection, Shenagh wanted to go over scene 32 again. This is one of the reasons I find online classes difficult because hearing who is supposed to read next makes the lesson longer. I feel my performance went well today: I took my time when saying my lines My voice was clear I was able to convey how my character Susan was feeling at that moment. E.g in scene 33, when confronting Reilly on the line “Well, Brian … I’m here” I spoke in a slow and flirty tone which made Reilly confused and nervous. I am enjoying this play because of Willy Russell’s ability to bring his characters to life, making the reader feel annoyed, happy and sympathetic through out the play. On Tuesday 12 th May this morning, we w ent over scenes 32-35 of “Our Day Out” with Rob and Shenagh. The lesson ...

On Monday 4 th May, I had a Zoom call with Shenagh and my class this morning. We read through the script of “Our Day Out”. We went over scenes 1 to 4. Due to COVID-19 and not being at college, rehearsing from home by computer or phone can cause problems. One of the difficulties that arose in today’s lesson was not being able to follow the script smoothly, people had to be told when it was their line. I found it frustrating because I have been practicing my lines every day and I concentrate during the lesson. Shenagh suggested to the class that they should get familiar with the script for next lesson so we can get through more scenes and bring the play to life. On Tuesday 5 th May, myself and the class rehearsed the script of “Our Day Out” with Chris, our TA this morning. Once again, I found it frustrating because the class was not focused, people still had to be told when it was their line. However, Chris decided it would be a good idea to discuss how each scene went after reading...
