Mask Making, Freeze-Frames and Loglines :)

Monday 14th January-
Today we learnt all about Loglines!
I had no idea that loglines existed but they are used by Hollywood Screenwriters.
Basically when writing a "pitch" you begin with When and then in the middle you begin a sentence with Then and finish with Until.
It is a great way to learn how to write a good pitch for our commedia piece which is now called "Love Wins All".

MASK MAKING :)
On our double lesson on Wednesday we started our mask making.
Our aim is to create some Commedia Dell'Arte character masks.
The materials used for the mask making was gum-tape, tissue papers and water to wet (slightly) the gumtape. We placed the tissue on someones face and then went over with the gum-tape creating the form of a face shape.
Right now, they isn't any Commedia elements to them but we havn't finished as we need to next exaggerate facial features to our character and then paint the masks!
I was the model therefore I wasn't making the masks and having that experience but that doesn't mean that I don't know how to do it.

After we made the beginning of our masks, we went back to the drama room and Mr Fearnehough told us about the research task we are going to be doing. We have to do an annotated bibliography which includes finding research about our technical roles in different forms. Our research will come from, internet, books, videos, primary resources...
I think that this research task will okay, but there is a lot of research we will need to do and I just hope that I can find good research!
Thursday 17th January-
Today we decided to re-take pictures of our freeze-frames because the other ones we changed afterwards that were much better. So we took new ones and then I printed them out and stuck them on the wall whilst Halley, Axel, Abby and Mary worked on the cinema scene which Bekki and I arn't in. Bekki watched them and gave them advice on what they could make better.
