1. PERFORMANCE LOG
WEEK MY LOG
WEEK 1 : What is Mime I researched on what mime is on Google and
other research engine and also use the
information my teacher presented to us in class. I
stored the information on my computer and add
them to the presentation called History of Mime
on my portfolio (Blog).
WEEK 2: Watching Mime Performances We watched varieties of mime performance from
YouTube and we had to do a review on one of the
mime we watched. The review for the mime I
watched was called 9/11.
WEEK 3: The Elements of Mime We were looking at different types of mime such
as drama, acting and other part of Performing Art.
The reason we looked at different element of
mime was because we had to choose what
performance we want to do as a class and we all
chose mime because it was different and
challenging for all of us. We chose all part of the
element of mime (dance, drama and music).
WEEK 4: Who is Our Audience? What do they For this week, I did a survey for our audience on
want? what they think of mime and what they would
like to watch in mime. I also went around the
school premises to ask the student if they heard of
mime and what they think of it. Since our
targeted audience is mainly base for teenager, we
also preferred that any age group should watch
our performance.
WEEK 5: Ideas for Paired Performance I was paired with Cara for the paired performance
and we had so many ideas but we ended up with
the idea of two girls on the beach, they found a
ball, one pick it up and it gets complicated from
there. But the reason we chose this was because
we thought it was funny and interesting for the
audience to watch.
WEEK 6: Ideas for Group performance The idea for the group performance was
challenging because everyone wants to do
different things but we ended up with an idea
(school). The performance for the group was
about different people who have different
personalities such as, cool, geek, funny... My
personality was a girl who was sporty and
2. extremely funny.
WEEK 6: Storyboarding For the storyboarding, I done a script with images
of the paired performance in step by step-plot-.
WEEK 7: Organising Rehearsals and Props and I was in charge of organising the rehearsal dates
Equipment because my job in the sshh! Production was an
Assistant director. I make sure that i keep up to
dates of who came and who was absent. For the
equipments and props, ma group performance
only needed a chair so all we had to do was found
about six chairs and stage them on the right place.
But for the paired performance we needed a ball
so we went to the PE department and asked for a
soft volley ball which we got.
WEEK 7: Choreography For the choreography, it was up to the
choreography student to make up a dance piece
for everyone (Renee, Abigail). But I also add
some few step into the choreography to make it
look better in a way.
WEEK 8: Rehearsal I attended all rehearsals that was organised by
me. There times when the rehearsal was not good
but also there are times when the rehearsals are
really good and we got everything rehearsal to a
high standard.
WEEK 9 : Rehearsal & Production Meeting I attended all the production meeting and
rehearsals and make notes of what was said and
what need to be done.
WEEK 10: Campaign/ Promotion Plan I had nothing to do with the promotion plan
because that was left for the promotion teams.
But I did make some suggestion about the
promotion when in the production meetings.
WEEK 11: Rehearsal – Visit from Professional I enjoyed meeting with a professional mime artist
Mime Artist because I learnt so much from his speech and I
also learnt new and variety of techniques about
the way to act and mime on the stage. I took notes
when he visited us (Blog).
We didn’t have as much of dress and technical
WEEK 12: Dress and Technical Rehearsals rehearsal as we hoped for but regardless the
rehearsal we did have for dress technical was fun
and amazing. At first everyone was loud and very
excited but when we got the rehearsal going we
enjoyed it. I know I do. We managed to sort out
parts of the things that were missing in the
performance (music, sounds...) in the time we had
for the Dress and Technical rehearsal. I definitely
work hard during the time we had and i know that
my performance and behaviour was good.
3. WEEK 13: Performance The performance was outstanding. I enjoyed
everything about it. We performed as we
rehearsed but even better. There are parts of the
performance that could be improved such as: we
could have made the ending neater and longer.
But to be honest we all did a great job performing
something that we never performed before. The
audience reaction was just out blowing. Everyone
felt that we made the right impression and we
chose the right element for the performance of
mime.
