MELODRAMATIC CHARACTERS IMPRESSIONS

DAMSEL IN DISTRESS

My first character is the damsel in distress, i chose this position because you can see that the position looks very elegant and graceful. The hand next to her chest posture is to show that the damsel is very lady like and that she needs a hero help her if she is in an  troubled situation. The baby eyes are made for a reason and it is because to show how dreamy she looks and how naive she is, the other arm position is to show her class and style. The whole facial expression is very delightful but the raise of the eyebrow shows you that she is very stressed and troubled. Her eyebrow could also show that she might be thinking of a plan to help her hero find her which makes her brave.

HERO
The second impression i chose was the hero, i first did an arm posture to show off the muscles (usually  heroes would have muscles as it shows how heroic they are). The other hand is just touching the muscles to add on to him looking very masculine and heroic. the facial expression is to show how charming and how glamorous the hero is. Usually most heroes are self obsessed and want other people to love and admire him and to appreciate the heroic deed he has done. While saving a damsel the hero also wants all eyes on him as he should be the center of attention.

VILLAIN
i lastly chose a villains impression, my one arched eyebrows raises the tension and shows wrinkles (since villains grudge so much it wrinkles their face).The lips are a clenched to draw more attention to the eyes and eyebrows and eyes, eyebrows and popping eyes really show how creepy and cunning villains are. The hand and arm posture shows the villain thinking of a troubling idea and the black and white filter can show that he is wanted and that he is dangerous.

WEEK 9 OF DAILY REFLECTION

This week In Music we preformed in class, while getting ready for our act we were very confident and well prepared. While preforming my team and i were not nervous at all since we had a clear story and scary music which we all are happy about. After preforming my team and the audience were very happy with how it turned out. In my opinion i think we had the clearest story as we had live narration, we got a lot of feed back most positive,( most of the feed back was related to the art) some people say that our script is too long while the others say its ok and some say that the art puppets were a little late which i do think is an issue to consider, overall i think we did very well and that we have to fix minor issues before the actual performance.

WEEK 8 OF DAILY REFLECTION

This week is very stressful as our performance is coming up. We are definitely meeting up to make the story flow with the music and we still are practicing on setting the mood. I have been working on the guitar and as i was exploring other instruments i discovered a piece i could play on the keyboard which is not a solo but it's with Lina.  The purpose of the keyboard playing along with the piano is to add tension and to change things a bit because it will be boring with just a piano or it will be a little repetitive .

The structure of the music is in such a way that all of the musicians get to play a part equally. Most of our sound is from the piano since it is the base while the guitar and keyboard is to add a little twist to the piece. Our story is 4-5 mins meaning the song will be the same length, there is also an audio playing with the piece to make the piece more realistic.
