Final Draft scenes reflection

1. In our performance, my job was the lights. I have never done lights but it was very easy. I just had to turn the lights up after the rain, and wait for our scene to start, and after it was done, I turned the lights off for a blackout. I learned how to work the lights and I enjoyed doing the lights . I also learned how to work with a group and work efficiently so we were not stressing.
2. Our group worked very well together, and we got our scene done before anyone else. Our strengths were working well together and splitting everything up so everyone is working on something in the group. Our challenges were memorization and staying on the same page. Our weaknesses were making sure we finished everything and finding rain for our scene.
3. I feel like “what’s wrong with me”n was one of the best because they worked well together and the acting and the guitar in the back room fit the scene very well. Jeffs group got it done, but before there final scene they struggled a lot and had to stop. I feel like Jess needed to project a little more because she was kind of quite in the scene.

The sonalogue that really stood out to me was Mals sonalogue when she chose, “tell me what’s wrong with me.” It was very powerful. The first element that I would choose is lighting. I would have the lights not too bright, but not too dark. It would be dim, and the lights may be blue depending how she is presenting it. The lighting would have to need intensity, color, direction, and movement to influence the four functions of stage lighting, such as, mood, selective focus, modeling, and visibility. Mal would need a spot light so she is also the main focus. It is very important because it sets the mood of the scene.

The second element she would need is costume. Costuming is very important because it can set the mood of the scene, just like the lighting. Her costume should look like she was trying to find the best outfit she could possibly find. Her hair should look straightened, and looks like she just had it done. The costume should also fit the design of the stage so it won’t look off balance. Costume is very important because without costume the whole scene would look off because the scene that she is talking about is about how she looks, and if she has sweatpants on, it will look off.

The last element would have to be set design because without a set, the scene wouldn’t have the same purpose. I would think the set design should have very few props because we don’t want to take the mood away from the actor. I think the set should maybe have a couch in case she wants to sit down in her scene for her blocking. It is very important to not have too many props because if you have too many props it could take away from the actor.

What I thought:

I feel that my performance could've been better. I should have practiced more and I feel like that would help. My strengths was improving every time I practiced my sonalogue. My emotion on different lines that I say change through the sonalogue. My weaknesses are remembering my lines because sometimes I would forget what came next. I also need to work on looking up more in my performance, and my blocking because sometimes I don’t know what I should have done for my blocking in my performance.

I am satisfied with how confident I was performing in front of everyone. I usually have a tough time doing that, but I have became a lot more comfortable with performing in front of people. I liked how even though I had a short amount of time, I still performed my piece like I was saying it, and not like a song. My performance was maybe the best I could have done it in a short amount of time. If I had more time maybe it could have been better, but with having only a week think I did well for my sonalogue.

If I had more time I would think about changing my song to an easier song to act out. If I couldn’t do that I would’ve prepared myself more to perform. It was hard to act out my performance to make sense. It would’ve been better if I changed the lyrics a little bit more than I already did. What also would’ve helped is memorizing my sonalogue and not just saying words that just pop into my head. It was hard to act out a performance that have talking in the song other than just the song. I had to cut the speaking part out, and not make it as long.

My audience, of what I saw was they looked very focused. I saw that I can tell they liked my final performance the best because they all were engaged and not looking down at something, or writing down something for there performance. It was a lot of fun acting a song in front of my peers at school because it taught me to be more comfortable with everyone in the class. I felt more calm and comfortable performing with my song because it was really hard at first to act out a Beauty and the Beast song that also had talking. Overall, I think my performance went very well, and my audience interacted with me as we

Sonalogue

Little town
It's a quiet village
Every day
Like the one before
Little town
Full of little people
Waking up to say


There goes the baker with his tray, like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town
Good morning, Belle
Good morning, monsieur Jean
Have you lost something again?



Oh, isn't this amazing?
It's my favorite part because you'll see
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!


I'm nothing like the rest of them
Yes, different from the rest of them





There must be more than this provincial life!



It's a pity and a sin
I doesn't quite fit in

I really am different from the rest of them
Yes, different from the rest of them

Sonalogue

I worked on practicing my sonalogue in front of my partners for 10 minutes. I learned what I am cutting, and what I am keeping. My sonalogue is going to be a lot shorter from the original version. I need to practice on my acting and memorizing the lyrics of what is coming next because I am cutting a lot out. I know what I’m cutting, I just got to work on having it ready for Friday.I worked on practicing my sonalogue in front of my partners for 10 minutes.
