Reflection:

One of the main competencies we used during the process of this assignment was communication. I was with a group that I had full confidence in working with. Right off the bat, we were off to work on our scenes. We knew we had limited time to complete and write them. We communicated extremely well with each other during the planning of our skits. We even went to one of our houses to practice, as well as coming in before school to practice. We listened to each other when writing our script and came together to decide what to delete when it came to fitting in all of our parts. We recognized that there were different points-of-view when writing the script but we were able to talk it out by agreeing upon which were the most important parts of the scene and including them. We were able to present our play in an organized and clear way all the while presenting it in an entertaining way. We were able to collaboratively achieve the common goal of making sure our play was elaborate in the information we were giving and also making sure that our play flowed well. We had great connections with each other during the play and we were able to achieve a persona with the characters we were portraying. We each took on the responsibility of writing the parts of our character and also bringing props and costumes on the day of the play. Overall I think that our process and also our end result show how much work we put into this assignment and I think it shows during our performance.

We did Act 1 Scene 1 from the Midsummer night’s dream Shakespeare play

French Revolution Radio Broadcast

Reflection:

During the process of filming this video, I and my partner Jamie used communication and creative thinking. The purpose of this video was to create a French broadcast that would supposedly be played during the time of the French revolution. You had to pick a certain topic we had learned about and then talk about it. You had to make sure you had all the correct information as well as entertaining parts such as commercials and sports updates. I and Jamie were able to bounce idea’s off of each other during the writing process of our script. We listened to each other’s ideas and collaboratively combined them into our script. I and Jamie are both taking French at the moment so we thought it would be entertaining to incorporate some little french sayings into our video. It is supposed to be a French broadcast after all. We were able to make our ideas work during the process of filming and editing the video. Through the process of learning about the French revolution ( More specifically the women’s march on Versailles) we were able to research our topic and include credible information into our video. During the editing of this video, I was able to learn more skills when it came to editing and putting sound effects into it. I will use those skills for future projects. Overall, I think our French radio broadcast was a huge success, not only information, but also for entertainment.
