The topic that we are currently studying in our creative and media lessons is about 'campaign'. In drama, we started off looking at 'Theatre in Education'. We were thinking about issues which relate to companies producing 'Theatre in Education' pieces. Following are the issues which were mentioned by my fellow peers.

1.Alcohol and Drug awareness

2.Bullying

3.Teenage Pregnancy

4.Road Safety

We brainstormed some of the ideas on bullying in primary schools, this was our main focus. The target audience was within the age range between 5-7. Following are the ideas we contributed:

1.Physical bullying,

2.Spreading rumors

3.Name calling

4."Sheep"

The idea of the "sheep" was to convey a description of an individual following the process of bullying in primary schools. An example of a "sheep" is an individual who will follow the bully instead of helping the victim.

In a group of three we were given the task to create a piece of performance on bullying that will be presented to a target audience of an age range between 5-7. We continued with the brainstorm and planed out the performance. There was a limited amount of time to present the performance which the groups created. A rehearsing time of 40-45 minutes was given.

Evaluating the performance!

The brief was presented by another group as well as mines. The other group's presentation was interesting, they showed how a individual was bulled by two members of the class. However I felt their presentation was not suitable for the target audience. It was not suitable due to the aggressive language used and violent scenes. Their performance was more suitable for an older target audience of a secondary school.

BAD POINT

1.They were unsure of what happened next.

2.They had to prompt each other.

3.They seemed slightly distracted.

GOOD POINT

what they created and performed was of a fairly high standard and was definitely entertaining, even if it was pitched at the wrong age group.

I feel our performance was overall good. The feedback for my group's performance from the other group and the teacher was commendable. They commented that our presentation was suitably aimed at the target audience, which I strongly agree with. Nevertheless I feel we could have developed the characters further more and included additional concepts of bullying and issues surrounding it. A few examples of additional concepts that could have been added are...

1.Showing more expression of the character's feeling

2.Adding another character.

I feel through more rehearsals and greater productivity of time management we could have performed better.

2 more weeks!!

Yes, it was 2 more weeks until the production. In Mrs Gooch’s lesson we started to print of the posters in A3, and put them up around the school, and we did the same in lower school, as we reached the art room, one of the teachers found another error in the poster, it was the date. I put the wrong date in the poster, now this was driving everyone nuts, so they all went back and took down all the posters. By then it was lunch time, so we all went off and decided to carry on with the poster in Miss Taylor’s lesson. As we carried on with the poster, it took us the whole 2 periods to finish, and we also put the posters up around the school.

Wednesday 20th

At lunch time, Miss Mia came to me and told me, that Mrs Gooch would like the posters to be printed. So I missed period 5 and 6 and went to the media room and started printing. It was an exciting moment, as weeks of hard work for the poster was final finished. I showed Mrs Gooch as she was teaching her A-level class. She was positive and really excited, as she was analysing the poster she found a big Error. Eben’s head was cut off a bit; at this point I was so broken down, but I managed not to give up at this point so quickly. So it was back again in the media room, after hours of thinking and playing around with the tools in Adobe photo shop, I final figured out how to make Eben’s head look normal, and the poster was final appreciated by Mrs Gooch.

Drama & Media

In Mrs Gooch’s lesson I showed the poster which I created on Friday, she was excited and also impressed that the poster was progressing, however she was not to keen about the background and also the image of both of the main characters. So I and Faduma were editing the poster in Mrs Gooch and Miss Taylor’s lesson. We manage to find a picture of the main characters as well as the background, which Mrs Gooch found interesting, and we also added relevant information to the poster which was provide by Mrs Gooch.

Media lesson

Our group was looking forward to a positive and hardworking lesson; our groups tasks, was to create a new poster with all the information, which Mrs Gooch selected in our in individual posters. It was a challenging lesson but we did not complete the poster. Keeping in mind we only had around 3 weeks until the production, Mrs Gooch was desperate to have the posters up around the school. So I stayed after school on Friday, and realised that I did not have the poster which we started off in our media lesson. I started to panic for a moment, and then decided to start from scratch. It was not as difficult as I thought it would be, as the images and information were saved on the schools desktop.

Below is the poster that I created on Friday.

Drama- 12/01/10

Fantastic! One and only word that I can think of right now. We presented our poster to our teachers (Mrs Gooch and Mrs Ormond) in her lesson. She gave us feedback on both positive and constructive notes on how we can improve our posters. At the end she wanted us to create one poster together in our group, and include everybody’s ideas that Mrs Gooch selected in our individual posters.

These are the positive feedback from our teachers:

Akhilesh's one was good, due to the logo was placed in a good place.

Theyah's poster had an interesting font in her poster.
Ibu's poster was impressive due to the vivid image she used.

Fuduma's poster had a reasonable background.

These are the constructive feedback: The picture on Ibu's poster had red eye on the character Ellie, so Mrs Gooch did not appreciate as much. However it was better than the rest of ours.

Akhilesh's poster had a modern background for the west side story, so it was not appropriate. Mrs Gooch and some of the students thought it was not relevant, however Mrs Ormond thought it will look good due to the background is more city like, and looks like New York.

The poster had a picture of Ellie wearing a green t-shirt. Mrs Gouch was not impressed with this, due to the actress was not in her custom. So we stayed after school that day, and took pictures of both of the main performers.

Mrs Gooch also provided us with information, which we did not include in our posters.
