Today we started by running Act 2, I was in this as Brit any more, as I died at the end of Act 2. But fortunately I can be an extra in some of the other scenes, like a bohemian. So I was in the bar scene where all of the Bohemians are now all zombified and drunk. This was quite a fun scene to do and I enjoyed it. Also Elle wanted us to be in the 'FLASH AH AH' scene, where all of the bohemians are being zapped. There a 3 flash ah ah's and she came up with the idea that we come up on the BOOM bit of the music to make it more dramatic. We had to come up and looked we were in pain. On the last one we had to go down like a thud, to look like we passed out. She then decided that the first flash ah ahs only the people who had lines come up and get zapped, as it goes well with dialogue. Then we only came up on the last one. I really enjoyed being an extra in this as well. Also I was in the last scene too and that was vaguely blocked too.
Also today we had to do singing back phrases to Kim(as Lena hasn't been in, as she's had an operation). We did some practice ones with her during the day and it was going okay. When it got to doing the feel thing and being recorded, I was really struggling. I wasn't the only one. Even the strongest singers in our class were finding it really hard. So I wondered why I was doing really well whilst practising, but I think it was because it wasn't just me there was 4/5 of us practising all at once, and it's a lot easier if you do it with more than one person. I was a bit disappointed, but we haven't practised singing back phrases at all through both terms with Kim or Lena at all. So I felt that maybe if we had, I may have found it a lot easier. Kim did a few recordings of me and some of them went okay. But she said that she'd have to see what Lena thinks of them and give me a grade back.
In the afternoon Rachel thought it would be a good idea to discuss production roles. She went round the group and asked us how our roles are going. Me and Emily mentioned to Rachel how the schools still haven't emailed us back, so Rachel suggested possibly ringing them up and talking to the head of performing arts. For some reason I found out I was out down for setting as a production role and Rachel said you have been part of that since we gave out the roles. I definitely remember I wasn't and I did marketing. It didn't matter anyways, as it's just another production role and I didn't mind doing it. So im going to be doing setting with Charlotte and Joey(from Year 12). Rachel asked to look at what we could do with canvas at the back of the stage and come up with ideas amongst ourselves.
