Art Project Reflection

( My group; Tisha, Ammal, Karim, Hyenho and Minju)

For the art and music project, I had fun doing the video because
we got to make the music and the scenes,
ourselves, by making the prop with clay- which is fun.

I had to edit it, in the end, even though it took a very very very long time,
I liked the editing part because I found it a little bit easy but also difficult
at the same time, because; I had to figure out where to place every scene,
plus; each scene was about 20 pictures, which made it harder.
It was easy because, I knew how to edit from before so it took me less time
than I expected it to. But, I also learnt how to edit even better than before.

I think our project, in the end, turned out okay. not very good, but good enough.
We tried to make it very good but we had other projects
and assessments too which is not an excuse, I know, but next time
I am sure that we will do better than what we did and we will finish it on time, perfectly.
I think we could've done better, since we didn't try our vey best to do so.

ART PROJECT WEEKS

Week One

Week one of art, we had to choose who we wanted in our groups (Two girls and One boy. Two boys and One girl from each (Music - Art) ) But there weren't enough people in the class room so my group was un-even.
My group was;

• Minju - Art
• Tisha - Music
• Karim - Music
• Ammal - Music
• Hyenho - Music
• Zeina (me) - Art

Since our group was un-even, we had two arts and four musics. 

In this lesson, we also watched claymation videos, to get an idea of what we will do, during the next few weeks. My group also made a time management table so we could finish the video on time.

Week Two 

Week two we had to discuss what we will do, exactly, with our group and perfect the music and how the claymation characters will look like.
We didn't do much, this week.

Week Three

We started on our clay characters, I had to make a lifeboat our of clay then leave it out to dry for next lesson.
At the end of the lesson, I had half the boat finished.

Week Four

I finished the life boat and it dried so I painted it red. I also made canon balls and painted them greyish black after they dried.

Week Five

I made shorts for the character and painted it red since that was the color of what his shirt was supposed to be.

Week Six

We finished the character and everything, so I made a canon as one of the props that we will be using for the video.

Melodrama Reflection

Reflection:

I think my group did a good job, but not excellent. We had to get props, costumes and a script.
The movie we did was; Star Wars, the characters we used were; Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, Darth Vader and a Stormtrooper. I was the damsel (Princess Leia) and I had to act scared and as if I am in distress or in need of being saved.

We had to find a quiet place because we did it in class since everytime we stay afterschool to film a scene or two, someone won't be there so we have to change it to another day but in the end we did it in class. I think the worst thing we had to stop was laughing and giggling whenever we make a mistake or forget to say something, but eventually we got over it and finished the movie.

Our movie was about 2 minutes and a half, even though we did a few more scenes but decided to make them shorter or that they didn't match melodrama.
My group wasn't really good at acting melodramatic but we tried, but I think Adam O'Niell did a good job and so did Adam Marwan, but I don't think Rania did that much of expressions, because she could've done a face where she was scared but obeying whatever she's told, like flinching or widening her eyes.

I don't think I did that good but I could have done better since my expression should've been me being scared (like calling out for help or gasping loudly, in a scared matter) or really happy/jumpy (since im being saved. Like; thanking the hero, smiling).

Melodrama Movie

Peer Evaluations:

Title:

Captain Crunch my Hero 

Group:

Rania, Khaled, Humza, Adam M., Minju, Aya 

Evaluation:I think this is excellent, because they were good while acting and they always stayed in character. 

Title;

The Tales of Old 

Group:

Jana T., Rakan, Ahmed, Riya, Adam O. 

Evaluation:I give this group an adequate because they didn't really stay in character the whole time, in the end of the movie they were out of character

Title:

The Run Away Bride 

Group:

Christa, Hamael, Sophia, Yusup, Muhanad   
 Evaluation:

I think this would get a substantial because I was good but they went out of character in one scene, but one of the actors didn't show his face in the movie.

Silent Movie and Reflection

Silent Movie:

Reflection:

The group practiced a lot and we were able to make a good video that explains what's happening even without talking, and only using facial expressions and body language ( and q-cards ). 

We made the movie based on MARIO Cartoon, and we used the character's names from MARIO. Next time I would improve on organisation and better acting as we had to redo the scenes many time as some of the characters were laughing during the scene. 

Brainstorming:

Scene One:

Damsel is walking on the street and the villain snatches her and hides her in his/her house.

Scene Two:

Sidekick see's that happen and tells the parents, and they cry.

Scene Three: 

Superhero hears the news that someone was kidnapped.

Scene Four:

Goes to the parents' house and says that he'll help get her back. 

Scene Five:

Sidekick tells him what he saw

Scene Six:

Hero goes to the Villain's house.

Scene Seven:

Hero and Villain fight.

Scene Eight:

Villain goes to jail.

Scene Nine:

Hero takes her back to her parents 

Scene Ten:

Hero proposes. 

Reflection After:

I thinnk the movie didnt turn out as we expected and we could've done better than we did, in the first place. 

I could have acted the damsel better than I actually did, because I wasn't acting like I was scared, like I should have.
