trips on performance: 4.3.2.1,roundhouse

This day we were doing our scene work and we heard that they were filming a movie called '4.3.2.1'infront of our school and miss foster knew one of the actor pretty well so she managed to get us on the set of the movie as research for our scene section and later our performance section.So when we went across to the park we saw the production busy working and one of the kindly took the time to give us a tour of the set his name was Alex, he was an assistant director. As he was showing us a round he told us that he actuall started of as a runner and he had just graduated university. He didnt much like being a runner but as he was he started to get ingaged in being part of a production team as he liked the enviroment of crew and cast on the set; so thats how he started out and he exceeded to become who he was now.the first place he took us to was the cast trailers, they were pretty small but i like to think of it as nice and comfy. He then took us to the costume trailer, there we paired up and got to met the costumer artist who showed us around, we got ask him question, i was with Sophia and one of the questions we asked him were 'is giving the costume as easy as it sound or is there more to it' he replied 'well actually there is more to it you have to get the appropriate costume to the appropriate character at the appropriate scene they are playing so you have learn the script and analyse each character so theres more work put in to it'. After taking us to costume Alex took us to hair/makeup where we were introduced to Hannah, Kate and Zoe. They told us how much they enjoy their jobs Zoe said ' it great we choose our own job and we get to travel around, i love it' and Hannah adds ' at first i never knew you get paid to put makeup on people, its great'. we then asked her 'is it hard,the rush?' she replyed 'sometimes it can be hard,stressing but they get to travel from movie to movie, place to place so your in a different scenery everytime so that keeps up the excitement also you get to travel to different places which is cool'. After that we said our goodbyes and went back to school, but we didnt leave without miss foster spreading the word about our course, what its about!,what we do! and how we designed our own uniform. when we got back to school we wrote about it was great experience a awsome day!!!!!!!

This day we went to the round house in Camden. we got there and we were introduced to a man who split us into two groups and took us to our activities for the day. first one was recording, where a man alex was thier and was talking to us showing us everything in the room(the equipment) and what they were for. one of the things he let us do was test the sound proof room. we went in there and he asked us to stay and scream as loud as we could, it was funny but we could hear them, he said that was because they were cushioned on the wall which absorbed the sound energy/frequency so we don't hear it. anyway after that he let us in the sound energy/frequency, anyways after that he showed us how to use and plug in the radio recording box 'believe me its not easy' and just took check we all knew how he made all of show him. finally he let all of us have a go with the recording mics and when we did he played with our voices and made a jingle out of all of our recordings, it was pretty finny during that he explained to us about playlist where they plan weeks ahead what goes on the show also he told us how sometimes they have prerecorded shows where they digitally program the songs and plays automatically. when we were done with this workshop we went to the other workshop where we work on the mac's and made internet music with the computer instruments. in this workshop we were taught buy a Russian man he was a musician and did these lesson ton students part time, he said ' i love making music like this its fun'. in the lesson he taught us the steps we need and then let us make our music from a template, we didn't have to stick to the template. after a while he stop us and asked some of us who thought their ones were good to share it ' i thought some that i heard were decent but some were mad and hilarious. so after that we were done with the trip we ate our lunch and we went into this Camden market, it was cool there were these cool bug glass thing i don't know what they were but it was awesome, also one of the men in the markets scared us he pretended he had a huge live tarantula ' i was about to have a heart attack' but they were kidding and seemed to find it hilarious which was funny. but miss got mad because everyone was going their own way and she couldn't see where they were and also she wanted everyone to stay together so we had to go early, but they trip home was fun and it overall it was a great day.

earth. know, as its a place we set, we are commonars we are one of 10 million or more; sometimes we tend to see ourself as the extraordinary but what is 'the extraordinary' is it being super intelligent well any one can be super intelligent we all have the same sized brain its how we learn to use its capacity to the its fullest and nurture it. so the question is here are we all equal. generally we are, we are all formed in the same way, we all started at the same point but society, cultrual definition and class seperates us and makes us different to one ontother and in other ways unequal. the from of this idea that there is an upper class and lowers class; that if you have more money you are upper class and if you have less money you are lower class. this idea is dillusional, its radiculous to say that if you are less economically privilidged then you are beneth those who are.

the way our minds work we take pleasure in making a fool out of ourselfs. how do we do it. lets take shows like x factor for example. popular show.i watch it dont get me wrong but sometimes im watching and i just look back a think this show is radiculous theese people very ambitious people, some very talented have to sing pour their hearts out to judges who dont even know the meaning of judging and half the time dont even judge, all of this to plead with millions of viewers to save them from the 'chop' tears are shed as the bottom two cry and plead with the 'judges' to save them from the 'boot'. i look back and i think its sad!!!!

Dionne Bromfield - Mama Said

dionne visits

Dionne bromfield
Dionne came to perform at our school, to the year ten's today, curtosy of in4merz 'claire'. She sang three amazing song one of which her hit single 'mama said'.
Dionne was our second artist who came to perform at our school(capital city academy).
I would just like to say 'thank you' to in4merz she sang amazingly and was a great hit with the year ten's.
On the day we did similar activities and jobs we did for erik hassle's visit such as;
meet and greet
interview,filming,signing,Q &A (questions and answers)

In all honesty i would say we did better with Dionne bromfield's visit as this was our second time,we were aware of the things we had to do, as we had done them before with erik. The reason i say it was better is also because it was more relaxed we werent all as nervous as we were before which has also got to do with the point i just made we were comfortable with it as we had done them before. Although what i though i most perfered about erik than Dionne would be that erik was more interacting, he ingaged with us where as dione was very inclosed as she keep to the people she knew but maybe that because she's so young 'only 13' i dont know. after she performed i evaluated how the day/event went here are my 'good' and 'bad' points:

Thngs that went 'good'

• the voice projection timing
• the sound was excelent
• the meet and greet went resonably well
• audience response was amazing
• lighting effect and control was good
• the signing went extremely well

The things that went 'bad'

• microphone made sound a bit too loud at times; screec hy was the sound 'ouch'
• the Q and A went horrificly wrong people were shy or quite we werent as prepared for that
• the green room response was bad
• signiture booth went well but was out of control at times 'understanable' i would say

My personal opinion on Dionne bromfield's performance was that she sang amazingly and she put on a great performance for someone of her age. her song was very catchy and she got me singing along to it fast just like erik hassle.

extra info;
people who were with her:
3 back up singers one of which named 'coco' sadly i didnt catch the others names
sound engenire named 'paul'
camera man named 'davidson'
support(parent/mother)
public relations 'in4merz'

Erik Hassle - Hurtful

erik visits

erik hassle came in to perform for our year eights today curtusy of in4merz 'claire'(hudson pr.). he was on a schools tour and he came to our school as one of his gigs. as part of our assessment wer had to organise the whole evening from things like:
meet and greet
interview
posters,flyers general advertismnet so people are aware
Q and A
introduction on artist (little memo). finally signature booth.

there were alot of things that went good and bad as this was our first event we organised completely independently. it was hectic but fun and buzzing.
here are some of the things that went good and bad;

Things that went good;
meet and greet was good. we gave him an excelent and warm welcoming and offered him refreshments which was great
the interview was good. it was very balanced we asked a few important complicated question which then lead to more simpler question which were still important but this finally lead to more easy going layed back question; all of which were appropriate,so that was great
the artist introduction/memo by axhel, was excelent;it was fun,informing and very inventive. it went down really well with erik he called it 'awsome' and said 'i love it,its cool'

things that went bad;
the Q and A went pretty bad which was obvious as there were questioins given to the audience post the event so incase no one in the audience had a question we had back up well that back fired.
the signature booth was mad it was very crowded and cramped; people were pushing so i suggested that we sort it out by asking all the people who were done to leave and wait for anyone outside the theatre. this idea seemed to work and eventually the booth calmed down.

taking all that ino account it was a pretty full on day. losts of things going on but i would say that erik performed really well. i loved his song hurtful it was really catchy and really got me hooked. he was an incredile artist and really genuinely nice and talented guy and it was a pleasure working with him
