Assesment 2

I think that my group and I stayed in role very well and we all projected our voices as well. As a group I think that we could improve on articulating our lines and using more pitch especially when we were in the cross cutting scene. The best thing we done is using our space to makes sure that we don't have our backs to the audience and it made a better play because you could see what was going on.I think we could of been a bit quicker crossing through scenes. One of my main targets for performance is now to make sure that when I shout I use differed pitches and not the same one like I did in the role play scene where I was scared then surprised. Another one of my targets is to  make sure we are more organised on our lines and don't look at each other in the cross cutting scene as we were confused as to when we needed to come in to speak. I think this happened because we were all under pressure to do well that we didn't want to make a mistake in the play as we would of been embarrassed. As a group I think we needed to be a bit more confident in scene 1 and 2 because we were very accident prone but except from that our group done really well.

Responding to feedback

Would choose to be Little Scarlett’s mum because she has a lot of energy and I feel like I would be able to pull that off. In this scene I would feel very agitated because Scarlett didn’t want to leave the house but I would also make the reader feel sorry for little Scarlett because of my actions such as violence and Threats. Also I would try to make Scarlett feel really sad because it gives an effect to the audience so it will intrigue the people who watch.

Little Scarlett’s mum wanted her out of the house to do important things but I would change the subject every time someone mentions what important things I was doing because it shows that I am hiding something or Someone.

The voice I would use is an angry voice because it gives an impression that I am angry and I want her to leave straight away because I am “Busy”. If I use an angry voice it will also persuade the audience that they should feel sorry for her during the Play. Also I would say get out in an angry tone because it gives an angry atmosphere for the audience and the actors where as if you say it as shouting then it gives more of a childish atmosphere.

The movement I would use is I would stomp around because I am an angry person and is never Happy even to her child. Using this Body Language, I would set of a wave of sadness in the audience which will make the audience feel sorry which is my motivation.

A line can be spoken by thinking about what you will say the words like saying “I will use this word in my line to enhance the tension. An accent that I would use is an annoyed accent because I don’t want to go to grandma’s house. I would use a high volume because I am angry. The character of Little Scarlett would speak like this because she is angry at her mom. Also she would be annoyed so she would have an annoyed tone in her voice. For example I would say "I don't want to go " in a different one because I am angry

Little Scarlett Task 2

Police Report By PC Pickett

When we walked in something caught our eye. A phone… There were 5 messages, we checked them and there was 3 from Scarlett and 2 from other people who we assumed where the gang members.   They said

·         “Hi mum I am really sorry about our argument earlier anyways I’m on my way now “

·         “Mum HELP there are these people surrounding me trying to kill me HELP.”

·         “Mum I got away but they are now at grandmas and I can’t find her I’m scared “

·         “Hi, if you don’t deliver the stuff tonight I will kill your family”

·         “You have 20 minutes BE AWARE”

We couldn’t find the Mother in the house but we found a note from her Mother to Little Scarlett saying

We assumed that This something was bad. After we looked around we picked up a few things that we saw such as the Mobile, A knife with unusual blood stains on it and The Note. On our way back to the police station we examined the finger prints and on the Note the finger prints matched her Mothers and the Knife and the Mobile both had unusual fingerprints on them that matched the fingers of a man named John Lewd who was seen last week in a gang with the exact same Knife that we are holding now.

Little Scarlett has not been reported dead yet but we are still unsure where she is now. We have tracked down the gang in the Estate car park but Little Scarlett is not there. We have a feeling she has ran away to a safe place.

The Gang are being questioned at this moment about Little Scarlett and are denying that they know her. More on the case soon , PC Pickett .

Assesment for Create.

In this video I played Lady Mary and I thought that I could of improved by using a bit more of the thought tracking because for most of the acting I was Laying down or moving and not really speaking. I think that by thought tracking I could of created more suspense and fear by changing the tone of my voice . I could also see that Olivia Was adding tension into the story by changing her voice and it added more fear and it was a lot more interesting. In this scene I think that me and Freddie were really good at staying still for a long period of time and it added a bit of Realisticness to the play. I think we created a good play by our Talking skills , Listening skills and making our own suggestions such as disagreeing to certain things and not just letting other people make decisions for us. We could of improved by being a bit more like a team and not like separate people. Also we could of made more of an effort thinking about the task before we went on to it . We could of also slowed the performance down a bit because it went really quickly and it didn't really make sense with the pace it went at. All in all I think are group had a few Minors but we were actually quite good.

Lady Mary Task 3 / Inproved

Then I dreamed that I ran downstairs and had just time to hide myself when you, Mr. Fox, came in dragging a young lady by the hair. And the sunlight glittered on her diamond ring as she clutched the tapestry where I lay hidden, and you drew your sword, and cut off the poor lady's hand."

Then Mr. Fox fixed Lady Mary in his stony gaze and his smile broadened just a little as he repeated, in whispering voice that could scarcely be heard: "But it is not so, dear heart, and it was not so, and God forbid it should be so!" Then Lady Mary stepped closer to him, and the smile left her face, and her voice rang as she cried:

"But it is so, and it was so,

Here's hand and ring I have to show."

And with that she pulled out the poor dead hand with the glittering ring from her skirts and pointed it straight at Mr. Fox ...Less…

“My darling, my darling, I would never do that to anyone”

“But you did I saw it; I saw the whole thing!”        

Mr fox had to contain his anger, then he could let it all out on the day of the marriage.

“Then I walked past the well created tapestries and came across a room.”” I turned the door handle and the door creaked … I opened it slowly with my eyes closed shut. I opened my eyes and there was a room full of dead women all in white wedding gowns, some with no heads some with no arms some without a body…. “

Mr fox was getting very aggravated very quickly but knew he had to hold it in ... What if his plan didn’t work? but Mary is stupid. Or is she?

“I still want to marry you, don’t get me wrong but it’s just that I didn’t think you were that type of person. from what I’ve heard from my friends and what I’ve seen I am not at all happy”

Mr Fox said in an aggravated but calm tone “My darling don’t be stupid . they were killed by someone else...”

“WHAT ABOUT THE GRAVESTONES WITH ALL OF YOUR FAMILYS AND OLD WIVES NAMES ON THEN?”

Mr Fox looked suspicious and knew all of it was true ... but kept it to himself

“When we get married, will you do that to ME! “

“Of course not, why would you say that my dear?!”

“Well I believe all of my friends and why would I trust a man like you?”

And with that Lady Mary ran outside to go back to her friends as she saw them waiting cautiously outside. As fast as he could, Mr Fox ran outside with a knife and cut her face. She hung on to the moss covered wall with dear life when she felt a painful tug at her wrist as the knife sliced right through it and it fell to the floor. Her friends ran to help her but didn’t want to get to close.

“Help ME!” cried Lady Mary

“NO, NO ONE WIL HELP YOU” replied Mr Fox with a hysterical laughter.

Then Lady Mary fell to the floor in agony whilst her friends sat there trying to help her buy putting their shirts around her arm with the faint sound of sirens in the background.

The police arrived and took Mr Fox away with them. He was laughing, this I what he wanted, her to be DEAD.

Her friends cried sitting in hospital being told;

“I have news. She has passed, she bleeds to death on the way to the hospital but we appreciate all of your help before we arrived, you were fantastic friends “

With that the friends, hand in hand, walked out the hospital feeling proud that they helped but upset because their best friend had died.

Lady Mary was never to be wed…

The next day was the wedding day. she sat up in her bead feeling anxious and feeling like this was the last day of her life. But she still got dressed into her skin tight ,silky white dress. She thought .. What am I getting myself into ?

At this time Mr fox as preparing his knifes all set up in a stand at his bed.

The Plan

·         DO THE DEED

He was SO excited for the moment when he could put the knife right through her soft neck

Lady Mary fell asleep …He took a knife out of his draw, dirty with old clotted blood surrounding it from the last victim …. His Mum.

Lady Mary Task 1 "Inproved"

”:My character was the lawyer and she felt cautious about Mary moving because this man that she is meeting might steal all of her money as he said he has loads. She also feels happy for Lady Mary because she has found a man after years of being lonely. On another hand she said that he is rich and handsome but Mary doesn’t know what he is like inside, maybe he just wants to steal her money or make the most of her having money and when she runs out he will leave, which makes the lawyer feel worried because if all of Mary’s money goes then the Lawyer will have to sort it out when she already has things to work on. Her voice is firm and smart because she is a business woman but when she said that she was going, the lawyer’s voice changed immediately to a worried, wobbly and wavering voice because she was surprised and speechless. The Lawyer wants to keep Lady Mary near her because if something happens then it will be blamed on the Lawyer and not on Mr Fox.  When she told them that she was moving, the lawyer sat straight up because she was listening hard and was intrigued in what Lady Mary was saying now. Lady Mary felt that The Lawyer didn’t feel happy for her and was just worried about money but in fact, she did feel happy for Lady Mary and was worried about money but also about her and what this man would do to her. The line “But, why?” Was said by The Lawyer and she said it with a worrying tone and a scared expression on her face because she didn’t want Lady Mary to move away to another place. The Lawyer would be sweating profusely and having her head down whist fiddling with her hands. Also she would be tapping her Leather shoe because she would be Nervous about what Lady Mary would say to her about the situation.i want the audience need to feel upset for the Lawyer because it will create more atmosphere in the room.  But I also want the audience to think that The Lawyer cares about Lady Marys life.
