Relationships:

The Butler has a great relationship with everyone in the family but has the best loyalty to the Spoilt son despite the way he is treated. The Spoilt son hates his step-sister for obvious family reasons and vice versa. The cousin is very relatable and tries to get along with everyone but can be very  annoying sometimes to the children. As much as the grandma cares about the chidlren’s Decisions and action, she is too old to do anything therefore she leaves most of the tutoring and teaching to the Butler. 

Term 2 Conflict Unit Reflection

Conflict Unit Reflection

 Why is conflict often an important part of a drama presentation? Explain.

I generally think that conflict is a very important part of any drama play or presentation because of the feeling of emptiness or lack of feeling throughout the play. I feel like that drama presentations without any sort of conflict isn't truly drama but just another interpretation of simple everyday life. Without this, all drama plays will lose a plot that makes it interesting and entertaining. A drama play without conflict will lose any sort of moral needed. 

Give an example of one lesson when you created conflict in your drama scene and say how you did it. (pauses, gestures, action, dialogue etc) 

During one certain lesson in drama during Term 1, I was practicing my presentation with a few of my group members, I focused on a few different things to try and match the certain conflict scene. During this scene, I noticed that I tried to change my face emotion and that I increased my volume and tone of my voice to practice being angry in a specific scene, while at the same time I kept making sure that I made hand gestures to show that I was frustrated even if my sound was removed.

How did you demonstrate creativity in your final video task? Give examples of how you tried new things or were thinking outside the box. 

During this final video task, I don't think that I necessarily tried thinking or doing anything outside the box but I definitely tried doing something new that I have always thought of doing because of how often I can see it in movies but have never tried it because of the lack of experience. This was trying to record something from a certain person's point of view to show their perspective of a certain situation that we would undoubtedly not be able to experience otherwise. This could be one angle shot of a scene or in our case short shot of the scene like a child. 

Do you think your message was clearly communicated in your video or could you have improved it? If so, how?

I think that because of the short length of our video, I think that our group wasn't able to properly clearly show/ communicate the message and because of that, there were many improvements needed to be required in the video. I think it would have helped if we could have increased the video's length by giving statistics and information about our topic to communicate our message more clearly. 

Think back to your performances at the beginning of term two, and now your current performances; do you think you have improved or developed any drama skills? (vocal skills such as: clarity of diction, inflection, accent, intonation and phrasing; pace, pause and timing; projection, pitch; emotional range, or physical skills such as movement, body language, posture, gesture, stillness, timing, control; facial expression; eye contact, interaction with other performers)

At the beginning of term 2, I think that I was starting to focus on my overall acting by trying to improve the smaller details in my actions such as keeping my emotions to match the scene for extended periods of time, remembering the past scenes and actions so that I can be accustomed to it when I continue to the next scene. When I think back to the beginning of term 2, I don't see many drastic differences that could clearly show I turned into any sort of actor, but I do think that I have made slight small improvements such as the ones mentioned above and simple things like being more creative in the way I present myself when I act.
