Okay what our group has been up to . . .

My group is the random group; we have Paige, Maddy, Millie, Kristen, Joel, Aaron and me. So it started off as none of us knew which play we wanted to do so we decided with some brainstorming and decided that we would take different characters from certain Shakespeare plays, and make a play we chose to do this in the form of a morning talk show like sun rise ect..

We were going to have Millie as weather girl, Kristen and Joel as hosts, Aaron on sports, me as counsellor, on field reporter and new I forget who were doing them!! Anyway, I was going to counsel people like Othello, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth hamlet and I would be Lady Macbeth and end up need to be counselled I lol funny right. We decided to plan plan plan for the next few lessons then we got a camera out and did some testing of shots, this was quite funny but I learnt a bit about our group so that’s good. We have decided on film and acting which should be interesting, um all our trials of filming is going into bloopers lol. We sat down and did more planning on scripts ECT... our biggest plans we did in this time was to cut a lot of the scenes because we just didn’t have enough time a little disappointing but it needed to be done. Kristen was away when we decided this and when she came back she brought a slideshow with it was really funny. I am no longer Lady Macbeth but I now interview her as well as Othello and Romeo and Juliet, the weather and sports where also cut but it’s makes it a lot funnier and simpler for the audience to understand we have written our scripts and have done some filming Aaron is quite the director, and we should be done in time for the performance we all have costumes too it all so exciting.
MEG :D

We have been practising in all our lessons and more idea’s keep following we are now just polishing off our performance so we know exactly what we have to do but I think if it’s as funny to the audience as it is to us then it should be really good.

Well i think the holidays killed us we are so rusty and we need to work hard to get back to where we were. but we can do it the class sugestions were really good i think we will put some of them into action on thursday in our double!!! well thats all folks.
