music 7X
In this video, I chose the rise up piano, I wanted to add this within the video because at the beginning the little girl is skipping and she is having a good time, looking at the flowers within the basket. She is skipping towards her grandmas house having no suspicion she was in the presence with the big bad wolf, who was simply just behind the tree.
We decided that Rise up piano was a good choice because of it's happy tone and it is also quick and fast which is what we are looking for in terms of relation between the topic or the scene and the music or the loop.
I also choose the other loop which was distant memories with Madiha and Gayeon, we thought it was good because it had an echo to it and was sad and used the lower pitch to give us a sense of creepiness and fright. Madiha instead choose west coast piano, this was when the little girl gets eaten by the big bad wolf as she notices it was him and not her grandma. Gayeon did the Disco delight to prove the ending and satisfy the ending of the video. This loop was for when the hunter arrives and gets aware of the devestating afair, then saves everyone

Lemony Snicket photos
Within the play me and my group have accomplished, we have made a series of lines in which we would say during the play. As well as you can see used facial expression to describe the scenario even further. I have made a picture of this above which will help you understand what I have done during lemony snicket. When I performed I was able to change my body language manipulating it to seem as if I were Violet because I looked around as if I were curious about something I felt materials around the house, however, pretended they were no use, and then changed my expression from discussed to scared as Count Olaf argued with Klaus. I usually though held sunny pretending an infant was inside the small sort of basket. However, the base of that my hand expressions became unuseful, however, when Olaf took sunny up her arms and held her I gasped putting my hands to my mouth and then reached hoping somehow I could catch the infant. In order to make a good expression I used an English accent, a medium sort of tone a soft volume. For example when I said, "You Monster" obviously I didn't shout it, I used an English accent and softened the way I said it and pronounced the "M" in a longer syllable.

Greek theater reflection
I believe that the skills I have developed have changed a lot as I have manipulated a variety of all these different skills to make a well-organized performance, I personally have grown a deep understanding of chorus work through time and have begun to understand all of the histories. The skills which have mostly improved for me is my vocal projection, I have grown louder and deeper into the voice sometimes I also tend to exaggerate my vocabulary to create an even deeper understanding of the character. Personally, I tend to firstly understand the character and then slowly but surely find the characteristics I look for. I have also improved my confidence since sometimes I become shy but when I go on stage now I feel all the pressure lead away.
My favorite scene from my three scenes was the first scene which was when the shepherd gave the baby to the king and queen, within the scene we showed we were nervous and frightened when we said continuously "It's a shepherd". I also liked the particular part in the oracle scene where we made tension by creating more and more frightening gestures and there in specific was where I think I changed my voice the most and I am proud of what I have accomplished. When I performed the character I used my voice and blocked my throat and pushed air to pass it and somehow made a creaky and scary noise which I used as my voice. I changed the pitch and motion of my voice all the time to create stronger emotional responses. On the final scene, I believe that it was also effective because we made all sorts of motion using body gestures showing wind and rain, we also showed the clothes in which we held and used them as motion signals of darkness, once we covered ourselves with the cloth at the end, Maia was then brought out of sight and you could hear tears in the background.
We as a group should have improved on facing our backs to the audience because our backs were facing them a lot for example when Maia was sitting down in the Oral scene her back was facing the audience the whole time which worried me a lot. During the performance, it is considered an error if ones back face the audience because then they can't see what is going on in the play and suddenly lose track on the story. Greek theater was a most interesting unit which really improved all the class together, it was fun and enthusiastic for everyone to experience a brand new style of theater.

Reflection:
I personally believe that my performance in volume pitch and tone was splendid, I also performed an amazing method of creating my characters feelings around the second scene I also think that my whole group showed an amazing vocabulary however some of the boys began to laugh. The chorus of the first scene was my personal favourite and I love how we continued to show how we felt and began to say "IT'S A BABY", right after we said "it's a shepherd" continuously. The third scene needed much more practice however when we performed it went much more fluidly than the actual practice time. I also think that our group needed a lot of practice which was exactly what we did. We took three our lunch breaks in a row to finally end up with the scenes we created. I think ,however, the most challenging part of the act was responding to each other when someone messed up ,fortunately, everyone seemed to be well organized with their lines. In all, compared to all the other acts I think all of the students in drama class did especially well.
