Performance review

Performance review

In this review I will be talking about the year 10 creative media diploma, the musical we produced was spotlight it included musical from different era they were grease, dream girls, fame, phantom of the opera and high school musical. My role was photography and set design had its ups and downs but most of them were ups.

My first role was photography and the second was set design, we done many things in photography such as take long range shots close ups and we even done side angles the way we done it was so good on the night I took 99 photos just as long and close shots. And in set design my second choice we also done many things such as set the background up while the show was in play and make the props they used in the musical. Such as the props used in the photos I have been taking like the stereo player I made it also came under the section 3-D visual art. The photos that I had done was shots of the performers/actors, lighting, set design, costume/fashion and video display I took photos of them practicing their roles for my documentary on the photos I had taking for the main event on the 1st December. Before the 1st December my strengths I had achieved during the time I was practicing the rehearsal the digital camera's battery kept on going off.

Over the time I was taking photos and setting the background of the set for the night, I also had to do a recorded blog on the website Blogger to explain what we did on the days that I had the media diploma class which was three times a week and we had one Thursday off just for us to do media all day, I am sure the date we had the day just for media diploma was the 26th November, for that whole day of media I finished my second page of photos for the documentary the first one I finished on the 19th November. However as well as me going photography I also had set design, the main achievement I done for the set design was drawing and painting a 3-D visual cassette player which was used as one of the props in the play. If I had to change anything differently next time I would change the time on what we done the play and have more time to prepare for the play because towards the end it was a bit of a rush.

On the night of the performance, I believe that I done well taking photos but I have to wait for my teacher to decide if I did well or not. During the play there were about four of us taking photos of the performance and us as a team we done well but we all took different shots of the actors and actresses, like I was doing long and close range shots while the others was doing side shots and others was doing low angles aiming up, because I was the head of Photography I had the privilege to use the slr digital I camera will the 200 times optical zoom. The audience overall responded to the play very well, I believe they thoroughly enjoyed the play. In the next unit which is festival about the environment, you will need filming and photography people and I am perfect for that.
