Little Sister Project

For the remainder of term 2, we will be focusing reality TV. Every student was given a character description and an application form for the 'hit' reality TV show 'Little Sister' (is parody of big brother.)

My character description was 'is very quiet, always plays with hair, and is always daydreaming'

I do have the tendency to daydream and before I cut my hair I did play with but being quiet will be difficult. I have a tendency to be quiet when I'm upset. Sophia claims I can be eerily quiet to the point it makes her uncomfortable.

Here is the application form

This is me in my character.
We were asked to take a photo in character.
She is reading one of her favorite books. In the background is a bookshelf of all the books she's read.

Thought tracking and Cross cutting Reflection

For this assessment the class was put into groups and assigned a scenario. My group (William, Oliver, Kalyani and I) was assigned scenario 1. The scene was of a woman who tells her friend that her husband abuses her. The friend tries to help but they cannot agree. We had to feature Thought tracking and Cross cutting (Jumpcuts)
Initially there were only three characters (the husband, the wife, the friend) but we needed a role for William. We thought of a therapist but how much the therapist should be included and how the therapist should be included caused us to fall out. We consulted Ms. and suggested we change the character to a friend of the husband, fleshing out the husband. We all were in agreement and started acting. We didn't have a script but just went with what we thought would work. That night I went home and worked on a script for the next day. We planned on meeting in lunch however it looked like the drama room was busy so I let the rest of my group take pictures of the script so they can learn it.
On performance day I told William and Oliver that if they wanted to tweek the script to tell me first. William said he might improvise a couple lines and I allowed it. Generally it payed off for him as in my opinion it made the acting more realistic. As for Oliver, his improvisation didn't work in our favor. He extended scenes that I thought should be short and impactful.
Ms. gave us a some advise which was that my back was to the audience and that someone dabbed. (Who though puzzles me)

Thought tracking reflection

This is our first assessment in drama and I'm not proud of it. Our group did not fully understand what thought tracking ment.

A scene was layed out for us to develop and it had to do with violence. We were given some options and our group chose a robbery. I didn't like the idea much so I added a personal twist. The mom, whom I was playing, was a drunk.

One of the positives of our play how real it is. All the other groups over played the concept of a drunk. Mine was the most realistic, as I was not acting incredibly slobbish.

The negative is that we didn't probably thought track. We didn't thought track at all to be honest. This probably lowered my grades and if I could do it again, I would.
