My Reflection On My Production By Yvette

My Reflecton On my Production Item

Storyline:

Our classroom’s storyline is a Maori myth. Our storyline is about Aoraki and his 3 brothers setting sail to search for  new land. A storm hit and Aoraki and his 3 brothers were flung onto rocks. The waka turned into a long piece of land and the 4 brothers turned into great stone mountains. Aoraki was the biggest mountain, his brothers were smaller mountains around him. When Aoraki didn’t return home his family and friends became worried. They decided to set sail to find Aoraki and his 3 brothers.

Actors, backstage people:

Everyone in our class is participating in this production item. The main characters in this production are Lavinia(Papa Earth Mother), Halaiano(Rangi Sky Father), Angel(Narrator), Patrick(Tuteraki Whanoa), Fine(Hine Nui E Te Po), Aoraki Rakiroa Rakirua Rarakiroa(Latham, Creedance, Cyprus and John). The Flowers, Tree, Fish, Mountains and Fruit trees are also main characters at the back of the stage. Some year 7 & 8’s are going to be backstage if anyone needs help. Nearly everyone made their own costumes.

Room 5’s role:

Our school has been learning about landforms. Our class production item is about Aoraki and his 3 brothers and the Southern Alps.

Props that need to be made and completed:

All the props have been made except for the Mosquito Wings, Tu’s waka and the oars for the waka. Besides them we are almost done with making props.

How are costumes made and what are they made out of:

Some  costumes have been bought but have been painted or drawn on. Other costumes have been made out of cardboard, wood and paper. Costumes are made by cutting out shapes and making them according to the production design. The cardboard, wood and paper have been painted to match the costume that it needs to look like.

(Practice) & (Progress) For people with lines:

I believe the characters with lines have put their best   effort into speaking loud, using actions and using expression. I truly believe everyone with a speaking part has progressed amazingly. From the start of our practices some characters were  poor, pathetic and not using expression, but now a lot of people are Excellent.

(Voice) (Body)  & (Expression ):

Everyone is using their bodies to do actions. Most people are using a lot of expression to make their part realistic. Everyone’s voices are progressing fast. I believe people are waiting for the big night to do their best, realistic, amazing performance.

Improvement:

I believe the only people that need to improve is  Angel(narrator) to know her timing when the music comes on to stop or keep speaking. Also Patrick(Tuteraki whanau) To shout when his part to find Aoraki comes on and Lavinia(Papa Earth Mother) to use more expression in her role.
