Our Stage Combat Choreography

Stage Combat Choreography Pre Planning

Questions:

Person A: Person A’s name is Craig Larsson; he is a tough guy from the shady corners of downtown Los Angeles. In the play he is seeking revenge on person B who owes him money. We try to portray Craig as a person that doesn’t fool around and if the deal isn’t fair he will jump to conclusions, and he will do it fast. He is a gang member and a gambling addict, especially when it comes to street fighting. I will try to apply as much as facial expressions as possible, for example when being punched or slapped, have a loud reaction holding my face in severe anger. I must squint my eyes and act like a real tough guy so when fighting, person b gets intimidated and then feels like backing out. He has severe anger issues

Person B: Person B’s name is David Jones; a normal homely guy who loves a cup of tea when he has the time. He enjoys scenic views from the top of a hill in his home which is located in a spacious mansion in Beverly hills. Big time and moneymaking is what he is. Aside from that he loves betting on local illegal street gambling. Even though he is wealthy and rich, he has a bad habit of not paying up if loosing.

Why They Fight: Craig Larsson and David Jones are people that should not be around each other. One day they were both betting together online. Larsson was going for one person he had full trust to win on and vice versa for Jones. The fight then finished with Larsson’s man winning. As Jones has a bad habit for not paying up after a week. Larsson took it up to himself to finish the job alone. He did just that and approached Jones’s house and the fight commenced.

How Do we think it will go?: We have practiced a lot inside and outside of school as we are both determined to get good grades for this final play. We will try out best so we can perform to out fullest. We put a lot of thought into our story and characters and will hope to pull it off.

After The Play Reflection: As a group I think Hamza and I did well together. Mrs said that we did ok. I think we did well in Performing the slaps and punches. We also tried to put a serious face the whole performance with real reactions so it could be as realistic as possible. I used as much as facial expressions as possible when being slapped hard and also when fighting. I tried To cross my eyes and show as much anger as possible. I also tried like a gangster accent to look kind of tough and intimidating. Hamzah also did well as we practiced a lot in and outside class. I think we needed to work on positioning when it came to the punch in thestomach. Otherwise i think we performed well.

Reflection:
Our initial plans as a group were for the play to be a bit similar to the example one we saw in class. We changed it a bit by adding a bit more of a comedic tone when we were acting. Our play was obviously shorter then the example one as miss told us that it had to be 1 to 2 minutes long. During the performance our group was working well and that may be the what went well, we were cooperating with each other and giving our critics to one another for further improvement.

Some unfortunate events during our performance include; the wind which was terrible because our costumes started going everywhere, and this triggered us to be unfocused and not concentrated. Maybe our group could have done the performance and finished editing a little earlier because then there would be a smaller amount of pressure on us and we would then have it done way before the due date. Overall I am happy with our groups performance and hope we do well.

Melo-drama Character Faces

The Hero:

The hero is a happy forgiving person who always saves the day. He is kind to the innocent and punishing to the bad. The hero's smile bright large smile brings cheerful feelings to all the other people. His arms our out flexing, showing that he is strong and will always protect his dear lady and everyone else.

The Villian:

The Villian is a evil manipulative  human being who wants to destroy the hero and rule the place himself. The villian's hands are rubbing against each other like he has a big plan coming in store to torture the likes of everyone he despises. His head is tilted downwards like he has hiding something and getting getting ready to come at you and strike. He face has an ugly, evil grin that will break just by taking one look of it.

The Jokester/Hero's Sidekick:

The Sidekick is a person who is always alongside the hero. He is usually not the smartest but often saves the day for the hero by mistake. The jokesters hilarious smile and his jolly hand movements just prove that he is one to be happy and someone who can also fall for things in a jiffy. Although he is a bit daft, he is very loyal to the hero.

Week 5 & 6 in Music

During these 2 weeks of phantasmagoria we worked on our music again. We started working on our middle during the performance. We went downstairs to see how our art part of the group is going and they are doing well being very productive of their time. I learnt some new rhythms and beats whilst the pianists learnt a new tune and something else to play. These 4 lessons were very good for us. 

Week 4 in Music

In this weeks classes we learnt how to play more horror music with miss coming to check on us regularly she would also teach us some more things.  I learnt some horror rhythms on the drums whilst my partners worked on playing the piano. It was overall a very productive week. 

Week 2 & 3 in Music

In week for 2 and 3 we all made our own groups for the performance. Miss said that each group had to have 3 boys and 3 girls and our group met that target. We all shared out horror stories to each other and chose which is the best. Our group chose one and we started working on some music for our performance. I am playing the drums and the 2 other people in my group are playing the piano. We already started working on a beginning. This process took 2 weeks including starting our music. 

Week 1 In Music

In class this week we learnt about what phantasmagoria was and the real concept of it. We also learned and talked about how to make a phantasmagoria theatre in our music room. Miss showed us some YouTube videos of old phantasmagoria shows. It was very interesting and as soon as i found out about what it was i was extremely exited.
