5th post

This post will mainly talk about the group so far till 13/8/09 where we had another group showcase, this time without Melissa.

So far, how has our group been doing?
The group has been doing well, and we were studiously having rehearsal on monday and tuesday as usual. The sounds however have not made yet, but are in the process. Having said that, the people in our group have been doing well, noone is a lazy bump or a total failure here, so its fine in this group. And yes, we have not bought our face paint!!!!!! HOW!!!!??? anyway, i checked out on the place in the intenet and found a place where they sell face paint, called Party City, probably and hopefully their face paint is good and wont crack.

How did the showcase go?
OMG i cant believe it, we had more comments than the previous showcase. The seniors J3 were the ones giving comments, especially Gisella. They were mostly -ve comments, but also had + comments. During the showcase, we only showcased the box scene and the house scene as melissa was absent. So the comment goes like this for the 2 scenes:

The Marriage:
-The use of Black Board was not effective as the words could not be seen clearly
-There was messy parts in the use of imaginery table as people often either banged into it without realising or underestimated the height of the table
-What is the significant of the remote?
-The last part where Afiqah take the box herself was good
-Tension was not very evident and not so good.
-Actions need to be more definite as some actions were not easily understood

The Box:
-The energy level shoot up once i came in (haha)
-The box was not clearly seen and the problem of the imaginery box is a problem in this scene too
-Facial expression can be made better
-Dramatic pauses can be used more often

In overall, the comments made allowed us to explore the 1st scene more, and refine it to make it better, by showing the DV easily. Comic effect were evident but not so much, can be made more.
There still need to have improvement made in the play itself. I think the presence of the other 2 scenes would be able to compelement the allover performance of the play! MELISSA PLS RECOVER SOON!
