MUSIC+MYP+3

=__DW__=

DW: Today at school we played to really fun games in drama. i found they were very interesting, at first we didn't really get it, but later on it was better and we got the hang of it. the first game was: we had to describe a story going around in a circle using a main topic. then the second game was: we had to make a story using 3 words. i thought these games were fun and good to learn drama techniques.

DW: what are your initial thoughts about the musical? i love the musical and i think it is going to be really fun to perform which characters stand out to you and why? RED= although she doesn't say much or sing EVIL STEPMOTHER: i like her style the way she goes about the trial WOLFETTES: i think there quite funny what do you think our challenges will be? singing= i think i am ok at it acting= once i learn the lines i feel more confident MEMORIZING= i cant memorize a big chunk but around 20-30 line would be good or maybe less. what do you think our strengths will be? i think we our really strong actors and singers i think we have good potential for this play! = **DW entry 3:** =

drama warm up exercise: run about

singing warm up exercise: siren

what skills do these warm-ups call for?

i think the run about was an exercise to get the whole class energetic for what we were going to do in class to get the blood moving in our bodies, i think the other exercise was to warm up and get our vocal chords ready to sing the songs in class.

reflect on your ability in each?

i think i did quit well and it was a lot of fun, although the siren was a bit tiring.

**Big bad prologue song**

**reflect on difficulty level strategies for leaving it?**

I think the big bad song is really fun to sing but i it is a bit high although i don't really mind it. I find the song funny and i think the whole class sounds nice when we all sing together.

BIG BAD MUSICAL REFLECTIONS: REFLECTIONS 1: in music we are doing the musical big bad and i think it is going to be very interesting and hilarious if we can pull it off i was first given the part of the wolfette now i have been switched do pig two or better known as Twoah and i think this part will be quite challenging although i think its fun to play a dumb character thats funny because then you can explore different parts in your self and your acting. REFLECTION 2:

Today in music we did oral recordings of our script i thought it was fun and it helped me get a little bit more into my accent, i thought it was helpful excersise.

DW: WHERE ARE WE NOW: right now we are memorizing the main songs that the chorus sing. so far we have done quit well in forever after and big bad i think my strenghts in these songs are pretty good i know the lyrics i just think that if i sing them to loudly it would be a bit weird, i also love to sing high parts so i love the big bad song and i also love the song forever after. i think my downfalls, my weaknesses are not being able to sing to loud i sing but often people cant hear me. i think i can be better at singing by maybe practicing the song more at home.

__** DW: **__

i think in my realisticness of the pig character i could probably get more into the emotion of it when you feel things like scared or worried or dumb extra.

i think overall that my performance can be improved alot and i should work on this.

__**DW:**__ MAKING MY CHARACTER BELIEVEABLE: i think today was really good practice i got more into my accent and i think it helped know where i need to put more emotion like were it say oh ummmm i'm not kosher i need to say take a long pause look like i'm thinking in a stupid way and then come back to what i'm saying and then show more stupid emotion in the rest of the lines also show projection! 1) projection 2) emotion 3) powerfullness on specific words

__** DW: **__ today we worked on the big bad prologue song we worked on stances and poses which i thought we did well at we talked about going high low and medium stretching out your arms make scary faces. then we did some weird salsa but it all went with the music we got our script books we did the siren warm up before sining which i though was a great exercise because it helped me with my projection

i also think i did well with the activities in class i memorized all the songs i new the lyrics by heart i was really happy although i do have trouble with the poses i think i can pic 3 and just repeat those differently i still need to memorize my main character lyrics for my song but i think i have memorized the lyrics of the chorus songs and the lyrics of the main chorus parts.

DW:

AT FIRST WHEN WE PERFORMED

* we were not loud

*we forgot the right time to do the movements

* we did not sound good

*some of us didnt really put any effort into the song

*some people didnt no the lyrics to the song so we sounded horrible and we were not loud


 * DW: **

i think today after we did the exercises we were alot better in class when we performed the prologue song.

when we split into groups i think it originally showed why and who really would sing and who would just mouth or whisper words.


 * DW: **

today in music we started of with marking out segments.

we went through different characters and i took some notes and what miss Dionne would say the most important thing she said today was take your lines and your character and think of what you would do in real life if this was the situation.


 * DW **

i think overall all the rehersals and hard work we went through was worth it at first i thought that the play was going to be a complete disaster but it hink it turned out amazingly awesome and i think i could have improved by not ACCIDENTLY tripping over the bench and knocking over joie-anne but overall i think it was a huge succes.

trust is a role in the lay where if you can trust someone you can do the play it helps you because it reassures you that if you forget aline someone else knows what to say and you trust them to help you out with there line or another line.

strengths weaknesses remember lines some people forgot lines didn't forget movements react quickly to wrong turns in play

i think i displayed my emotions well and acted stupidly really well i think i remembered my emotions correctly and i know i was stupid enough for my character.

DW: review of project for drama

for my project i got good reviews saying they like the effects and that they liked the costume i was wearing most people thought it was cute. they said the voice had good projection and it was done really well for the storyboard i will have to scan it in because i did it on paper but i basically planned out everything i would be doing like the green screen here i was setting it up etc..

for the green screen things didn't go exactly as planned but it worked out right in the end i think my video is very successful although i think i could have improved by editing it so the credits were longer and so all the light wasn't on my face.
