Final Blog Post

I think I grew a lot in my confidence since the start of this semester. In the beginning, I was kinda shy and wasn’t that fond of preforming in front of people. But now, I gained a lot of preforming confidence and am ablw to act or direct without being a little hesitant. I think this is partly because I made friends with the people in our class and felt more comfortable around them. I also think it’s because I grew as an actor and a director and I learned more about those topics and what goes into them.
Though this class, I learned that I liked to direct. The first thing I directed was “the Office” scene parody. At first when people chose for me to direct this scene, I was a little hesitant because I’ve never directed before. But I soon realized I really liked it because I like writing the stories, and I like to put scenes together and help actors understand the vision.
The second thing I really directed was the final project called, “impossible”, with Lily, Jordan, and Jeff as actors. I enjoyed writing the story, and for this project I really got into it. I tried to really portray a story that meant something and had a theme, which I tried my best to help the actors see.
I think this final project shows about me is that I learned to love directing and writing stories and scripts, and all the things that come with being a directer. I even enjoyed editing the video if it meant that the story would make the most sense, and I liked being the leader of the group.
Overall, I had a really great time in dramatic arts class this semester, and I would say it was my favorite class so far.

Reflection of "The Classroom" Scene

I think that one of our group's strengths was our use of props. We used pencils, paper, a notebook(for Lily's sign), and some of us even used our own shoes(Jordan). Even though they are small, these props, I think, helped to set the scene well. The pencils and paper helped the scene to have a classroom-type vibe. Also, Hannah used one of the pencils to break it and throw it, which I think contributed to the comedy theme and her character's personality. Lily's sign and Jordan using his shoes really just made the scene a lot more funny. I also think they all did a really great job of improvising. I think this because an example is how Jordan used his shoes, and Hannah broke the pencil. They both improvised this, and by doing that, they made it seem a little more natural. But it wasn't just them; everybody helped to make the scene be more natural. As the director I couldn't tell them the exact movements and what to do with their parts, and they did a great job of i...

Silent Movie First Draft Reveiw

Strengths and weaknesses One strength would be the `colors of the scene. It makes it more dramatic and sad looking. Another strength would be our storyline and plot, which we think are clear for the audience. One weakness of us might be that some of our scenes are a bit confusing. However, we have been figuring that out. We are thinking we could re-do a couple of scenes to make it less confusing, and zooming in on pictures closer so people can see them.
