Friday the 15th November

Video of our scene today....
*video to be uploaded*


In the scene we filmed today we have made a huge progression as a group, starting with the fact that Bella was in lesson and we were all together to share our ideas and improvise as a group! 
Bella shared her ideas in which we acted upon and have came up with a more detailed and structured piece. We have all developed our characters to a higher level and have established our relationships with one another. My character is made an outcast during the scene due to the fact my character loves to film everything, including the storm which the other characters do not take a liking to, they feel I am using them as part of my project in order to get a better documentary. My character is very protective of the things she has and does not like people invading her space and touching her things. It seems as though they are never going to get along but towards the end of this scene the audience see all the characters sitting down together and sharing secrets and events that have happened in their lives. 
In our rehearsals we have used the time as much as we can as we had a lot to develop and structure. After today's rehearsal my group and I feel that our piece is coming together really well and we have portrayed our characters individual emotions and characteristics to the audience. We received positive feedback and we all know how to advance out piece further. As a group we   All work extremely well and hard together, we all use each others ideas and respect each others choices. During rehearsals we all had a discussion about what we liked about our piece and what could be improved on, we shortly after went back into improvising and rehearsing for the rest of the day and I am really happy with how today's class went a we have made such good progress and have really got into our characters, I really enjoy playing my character as she is so different to me in many ways and it is an exciting challenge.


We have also used rehearsal time to discuss what our characters image is going to be, for example: what costumes we are going to have and how their clothes will reflect their individuality.
Hope is a very hippy and laid back person, so we have decided her costume will reflect this and will be very unique and hipster style.

My character Summer is quite alternative and does not follow fashion and does not really have a particular style she just wears what she feels like and uses her mood to determine her outfits, so for my character is will be wearing patterned clothes that stand out and portray my personality to the audience. 
Chrissy is quite girly yet has a "chavvy" streak to her, so we have envisioned Chrissy to be wearing quite casual clothes, maybe a pink tracksuit to portray her trouble maker ways, but we do not want this to appear cliche. 
Lastly, Kelly is a very serious and responsible person, and as she is giving a motivional speech we have come to the decision that she will be wearing something smart, like a black blazer with smart trousers, we want her to look professional yet young, as she is only 18.
All our characters are so different, and we want to portray this through the way they appear, as well as through their body language, voice and movement.
