Ernie incredible illuciaciation video review

When I was watching the video, I think I didn't achieve the KPI 'respond fluently to characters whether I'm speaking or not' because I didn't react quick enough when Gabriele said 'Damn it, I think I've broken my leg' because when I replied I replied in a nonchalant voice and sounded like I was not focusing. However I think I 'understand and show character' quite well because when I was speaking I was a trying to convey a worried and panicked tone of voice which I think when through onto the camera.

Also, I think I achieved these two KPI's which are 'project voice audibly, regardless of character and emotion and articulate lines audibly, regardless of character and emotion' because I was using a loud voice shouting up to Captain Williams and I tried and conveyed a loud voice with the needed emotion in it. In contrast to this, I think I was bad at being able to 'control pitch and to show understanding of my character and role' because all the time I was speaking in exactly the same pitch throughout the entire performance and I only used projection.
To improve on this I will make my voice go higher pitched when my character is worried anxious or scared because naturally a voices pitch goes up when some one is one of the aforementioned words.

Additionally, I think that I have achieved the KPI which is 'stay fully in role even if there are mistakes or distractions' because I was able to stay in role even when Eleanor was a bit quiet so to stay in character I still shouted up to Gabriele so I was still in role be aside the librarian would be shouting up to Captain Williams on the mountain ledge. Plus, I think I achieved the KPI 'Show the objectives of a character through appropriate actions' because in the scene where Captain Williams get stuck up the ledge, I gesture pulling on the rope so Captain had plenty of line to hang onto while on the ledge to keep him safe. This would show I want Captain to come down unscathed and safe.

Finally, I think I didn't achieve the KPI 'Speak lines from a range of sources with understanding' but to achieve this I will remember my lines and understand the context  in which the lines are from other sources such as plays or scripts I am given and by doing this I will achieve this KPI.

Ernie’s Incredible Illucinations task 2 Redone

Auntie May and the man positioned facing the audience diagonally so the audience will notice they are still watching the fight. For example they would still considering the audiences sight lines therefore this would help the actor show they can still keep in mind the audience’s sightlines while performing.

 

Secondly I would have the actor playing Ernie hot seated to find out the backstory on how they stopped Auntie May from going on to fight more fights since Ernie made her ‘heavyweight champion of the world.’ This could develop the performance because it will demonstrate to the audience what extent Ernie’s powers go and how chaotic Ernie’s powers will go. Also some questions I will ask the actor is ‘How did you come up with the idea you turn Auntie May into a wrestler. Did any lasting damage ensue? This will enlighten the audience in the fact they know even more about to what extent Ernie’s illucinations and what lasting damage they can do. The actor would find out that Ernie is an imaginative boy and he has a stock of plenty ideas which he can use when he pleases and the actor would feel powerful for Ernie’s has tons of power at his disposal however the actor should feel really panicky because the power hasn’t got a limit and can be triggered at the worst times. This would be achieving the KPI ‘describe how a hot seat can help develop a performance.

 

Thirdly to show the objective of Auntie May, I would make the actress playing her have very exaggerated gestures. For example when she tells the man to get into the ring she would make gestures like pointing at the ring and prodding he man in the chest while saying ‘are you a coward or what’ and the actor playing the man frown deeply and when she gets in the ring she will have very exaggerated moments getting through the ring barriers or over just clambers over the barricades.

 

Finally, I would have the actors improvise on the scene where the fights takes place. For example Kid Saracen could mock Auntie May for being ‘old and frail’ but she in retaliation she mocks The Kid for his reputation for what good is knocking out other people out.  This is where the fight begins the actors can add their own thing in like using their own style to make up dangerous moves but however there is no physical contact for that could injure an actor seriously

Video review improved

In the video, the volume of my voice is exceedingly quiet so a KPI I could work on is Project voice audibly, regardless of character and emotion because in the scene where we are cross cutting I speak very quietly and mumble a bit.
Additionally I'm sure I need to work on the KPI which says Remember planned blocking and move in the space with purpose by not sort of running around not too sure were to when the stage went dark.
Plus I think I can work on also is Consider the audience’s sightlines and ensure they can see because I see that I had my back to the audience in the subway scene where little Scarlett gets beaten up because I noticed I had my back to the audience when capturing little Scarlett.

However, some things that I think we did well is that the KPI, Consider the audience’s sightlines and ensure they can see because in the cross cutting scene we kept out faces towards the audience. Plus, I think we managed to achieve this KPI Stay fully in role, even if there are mistakes or distractions because in the throughout the play because, especially Molly R, because I think molly was very good because she used plenty of voices which also can include the KPI Control pitch to show understanding of my character or role because Molly and Megan used good pitch and used loud volume which can let the audience could definitely hear them in comparison to my volume which was soft and quiet

silent movies reasearch 1 redone

Harold Lloyd was an American actor, comedian, film director, film producer, screenwriter, and stunt performer who is most famous for his silent comedy films. Harold along with Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton was one of the well-loved comedians from the silent movie era.  

This is Harold in 1924.

Harold had made more than 200 movies silent or otherwise between 1914 and 1947. Also he has made 12 individual movies compared to Chaplin's 4 and also making quite a bit more because overall he made $15.7 million to Chaplin's $10.5 million

 

 

Plus His films quite often contained "thrill sequences" of extended chase scenes and daredevil physical feats, for which he is best remembered today. Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock high above the street in Safety Last! As a side note these feats are totally one manned since he had no wires supporting him and in Safety last he hung from the clock all by himself and if he fall it was most defiantly kill him.

Additionally during an unfortunately shoot a bomb was mistaken as a prop resulted in the loss of the thumb and index finger of his right hand the injury was disguised on future films with the use of a special prosthetic glove, but it never went unnoticed.

In 1910 after his mother and father divorced and the reason to this is that his father business ventures failed and Lloyd moved to San Diego with his father.  In 1914 Lloyd hired Bebe Daniels as a supporting actress the two known romantically as 'the Boy' and 'the Girl' in 1919, she left Lloyd to pursue her dramatic aspirations. But to replace her Lloyd hired Mildred Davis in 1919. It had been reported, the more Lloyd watched Davis the more he liked her. Lloyd's first reaction in seeing her was that "she looked like a big French doll!"

 

Lastly, then he could of been popular for his daring stunts but I think what keeps him interesting now is how he does all these trick without supports him and would do funny things like in safety last he flipped through a window which extracted a laugh from me.
