Reflection

1. I feel I have developed how to act Melodramatically and how to properly show my facial expressions.
2. My greatest success is when we did a Train Track Terror and I feel that my acting was pretty good.
3. Silent: Everybody took turns filming and we all acted although some people did more work than others. For Pocahontas, everyone worked really well and we all had big parts in it and everyone did their best.
4. If there is a movie about an issue in the world, it will bring insight to people so that they know the dangers of that.
5. We got the reaction we wanted, people laughed when we wanted them too but when we didn't want them to laugh they didn't.
6. When we do presentations I can use my acting skills for improvement

Pochohontas: A Melodramatic Remake

What character are you playing?


Pocahontas is Salma, John Smith is Riccardo, Sam is the Henchmen and Sireen is the Chief.

What Melodrama conventions will YOU be using in your performance and how will you use them?

1. Pocahontas falls in love with John Smith at the beginning to give a reason for why she rescued the damsel.

2. The Damsel (Riccardo) will be captured by the Henchmen (Sam) right after they fall in love so that Pocahontas (Salma) will have a reason to go after the villain (Sireen).

3. Pocahontas will rescue John Smith towards the end and they will live happily ever after.

What costumes will you wear? Why?

Pocahontas will wear a leather dress, blue necklace and a tattoo drawn with a marker. John Smith will wear a white long sleeved blouse, denim jeans and boots. The chief will wear a black leather vest with tassels and an orange shirt. The henchmen will wear tribal clothing.

What props will we use?

Greenscreen for backgrounds. Spears for fighting. Bows and arrows

Peer Assessment on Silent Movie

Save the Princess, Save the Day:

I think that our group did pretty well, I think we did Substantial work but we could have improved if we put more cue cards and if we did a better job at making big actions. Gunce could have acted more and done bigger expressions and Adam could have looked more like a villain. I could have done bigger expressions and Omar could have done more and Ward did well but she could have looked more distressed.

Birthday Surprise:

I think that their group did Excellent work and their cue cards were sufficient but not too many. Salma did a very good job at acting and her expressions were very good. Nasser did a good job but he could have acted better.

Strapped onto the Rails:

I think that Karim did very well and he had huge expressions. Sireen did well at looking distressed but she could have done better expressions. In my opinion they did substantial work and could have improved with bigger actions.

Oliver Suddens Rescue:

I think that the acting was good but the music could be better because it was loud. In all I think they did Adequate work.

How to find your Maiden:

I think that they did Excellent work and that it was really funny. Hyeonho did a really good job at being a damsel and Sam was a really good sidekick

Bob and Cooley try to save the day:

I think that they did Limited work and they could have improved a lot. The Music never changed and it was pretty short.
