My group uses climax by including abc unexpected scene where one of the main characters get bitten

# data[].attributes.body
during our  performance we made sure that the audience knew what was happening due to our use of climax when the zombies were attacking the humans. we spoke load to make it super clear to the audience what was going on and who was talking at what moment.

we used cross cutting when we were first started our play with the present as it was effective because it makes the audience want to know what happens next . Then after we showed the past so then the audience know whats happening .We used climax to build up the tension when one of the character's were having a bad dream . Then we added the cross cut to show what happened in the past .

In otr drama prices we used climax a time the points where I wasn't hiding in the car and the audience were waiting for the driver to realised who was at the back. Also a moment when we use data crosscutting was when we were transitioning from different times. We had to create a smooth transition to make sure our drama price ends didn't look choppy.

Target= What was the impact of the audience?
There was no impact on the audience because my group did not perform, but in future, we should of break down the story and work and understand the piece,  instead of hyping with ideas but not know how to perform it.

We used climax when the character was bitten by the zombie, as it wasn't expected by the audience.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we used cross-cutting when we were transitioning from the present to the future and then to the past. we added cross-cutting to make our piece more effective and show what we want the situation to lead to. My group used climax during the car scene and it was when the Zombie popped out from the back seat and attacked the driver it was surprising for the audience because we did not show the Zombie get in to the car

My response to my target

Target: what was your intended impact on the audience?
I wanted to make an impact to the audience so that they can feel a part of the drama piece and so that they can understand the story. I also wanted the audience to enjoy the play.

Why was your use of cross cutting effective?
I think that using cross cutting will make the drama work more neater. when using cross cutting it will stop my group from getting confused where to go. it also tells the audience that their is a new scene and a new bingeing.

# data[].attributes.body
A specific moment when I used cross cutting in my piece of drama was when we were being a family having dinner, sat round a table. in this seance the farther has transformed into a zombie then we cross cut into the past, showing why the farther had turned into a zombie.

Thank you for your response Mrs Griffiths. I will remember to not use the audience as the 'viewer'. The specific drama skills that I developed as a performer are facial expressions and the tone of voice. In my drama piece, I showed the use of facial expressions and tone in my voice when I had a chance to react and say a dialogue. This gave the audience a chance to understand the emotions of each character.
To challenge myself by using theatrical skills terminology for movement, I will use a all the space on the stage, show a range of levels and ensure I have smooth transitions. This includes thinking about how my character would move based on how they feel towards other characters and their relationship.
To challenge myself by using theatrical skills terminology for voice I will think about my tone, volume, pitch, pace, clarity and accent. Tone - Is my voice appropriate and suitable for my character (harsh or soft). Volume - To make sure everyone in the audience can hear and I will think about how loud or quiet I need to be based on my character.
Pitch - Does my character have a high or low pitched voice (squeaky or deep).
Pace - How fast will I speak? (too fast and the audience wont be able to keep up and too slow of a pace will bore the audience.
Clarity - I need to make sure I speak very clear or the audience will become confused. It's crucial!
Accent - If my character needs an accent, I must be ready to sustain it throughout the whole play.

A special and key moment that we have used cross-cutting was when we were traveling in the car and the children noticed to bite on the fathers hand so then we cross-cutter back to when the father got bitten. I think that this is effective because it gives the audience a clearer understanding as to what happend and so that later on in the play, they wouldn't be confused. He theatrical skills that we have used were projection, tone and chorus. In my opinion our group performed well as a team, however I feel that we could have done better as in change the story around a bit, and making it more engaging to the audience. We could have added more shocking mommets like when the car stopped we all slow-motionly pushed ourselves forward then quickly back. This was effective as the audience was more engaged as it was more interesting.
I think I completed my homework....

# data[].attributes.body
An example of when we had used cross cutting is just after we had finished the first scene which had previewed the last men standing on earth suffering and eventually dying. At that moment, cross cutting was used to move to the next scene which was what had happened before those people had died. To show that it was cross cutting, my group and I had changed our position and spun around our area to show the audience that we have changed form and character.

I can't remember the work we devised that day, but in another piece of work we had used the soundscape (gunshot) to built tension than layered on other noises. we had then added atmosphere an to make the audience feel tension and fear. We had also jolted in unison to add effect and keep b the sudden feel of the piece.
Unfortunately right now cannot remember a time where I have used cross cutting but if I do then I will tell you :)

The use of transitions and cross cutting is effective because it helps you to move on to the next scene of your drama piece and it doesn't look messy, unclear and confusing for the audience to watch when there is transitions. Cross cutting is effective because it shows different parts of a story shown in a different order and this makes the piece interesting for the audience to watch and makes them want to watch more because they would want to know what happened before that scene or after that scene.
The post without the name was mine as I forgot to put my name on it.

I think that we have used cross cutting right at the middle where we where acting like zombies and in the same time acting all dead which then nobody will be able to see that we are alive. I also think that when we us zombies jumped over the people meaning the zombies it had looked like a very effective peice and in my opinion the best part. Thank u for reading

My group used a variety of drama skills, such as chorus, sound, and cross cutting. Cross cutting was effective as it allows us to change the scenes to past, present or future.
D: We chose to do cross cutting; we started off with the present tense, then went into the past to show the audience how everything had happened. Our cross-cutting was successful as the audience was able to tell that we were going back and forth in time.
E: My group could have used a lot more sound as well as slow motion to make our piece more dramatic.

Our group used cross cutting which was very effective as well as good use of climax to add more tension to the drama piece and make it more interesting. The use of cross cutting made the piece of drama more interesting as it added more mystery and suspense to the piece. The order we started in was future, past and then present. we thought that this order would be most successful as starting with the future makes the audience confused and makes them more interested, the we move on by starting from the beginning and explain what is happening in the past which makes the present link to the story line as it runs along smoothly. Our use of climax was almost successful as the person that appears from behind, startling both the character and the audience, makes the audience feel on edge. Overall, I think the drama piece would have been successful if we got the opportunity to preform and the group communication and co-operation was stronger.

The skills that my group used were cross-cutting, slow motion and miming. We used these skills so that we were able to create a climax. This was effective because we were able to tell the past, present and future and it grabs the viewers attention and it makes them wonder how it ends or starts.
My group decided to show the present first by starting in a freeze frame/still image. We then used cross-cutting and went back into the past. From that point we continued our drama which built up to the climax. At this moment we used miming and slow motion. This created tension in the audience.
This was effective because it all builds up to the top of the mountain which is either expected or out of nowhere. This makes the audience want to know more and it makes them eager and tense or excited. This is not only effective in the piece itself but also as pupils who study drama it allows us to engage with our inner character.

The skills my group used were climax which builds up tension for the viwers and cross-cutting which allowed transition to happen from the present to the past and future.
We added  climax through the use of sound and the Zombie poping out of nowhere which would be a surprise for the audiance and the sound to introduce climax and  to keep the viewers hooked and what to find out more about the story.
I  think that my group tried theire best to make a really good drama piece and we worked really well together.

my group used climax very well, you could tell when something important or exciting was about to happen and it made it clear to the audience what was going on. for example when we were running from the zombies, we did it in slow motion and in silence but it was still clear to the audience what was going on. our performance did not last that long but it was still effective . I think our body language was effective and also the fact that we could change character and still be serious. we used a range of body levels and sounds. our piece was great and effective in many ways.

My group used slow motion at the climax of our drama piece .This was really effective as when we did this it makes the atmosphere tense and makes you want to keep watching what happens next .Also we started our role play by showing the future first so that the audience would want to know what we went through to get there now .We used cross cutting when one of the members of our group was sleeping and having a bad dream whilst we played it out behind her .This was effective as if she was just sleeping we would get bored of watching it whereas if we do this we would know what was happening

In my group wwe decided to mainly focus on the climax and slow motion, the reason our group decided to use this was because we felt that slow motion would really empathise a specific scene which was the zombie biting the mother.
As well as using slow motion in our piece we decided to rearrange the order and funk it up a bit by showing the past, present then future. We decided that this was effective because for our piece we though that it would be nice to show our audience what happend before so they have a better understanding when we show them the present

Target: One moment when we used cross cutting was the scene when we were waiting in the hospital and then we cross cutted to a fututre scene when we were in the car and the zombies were attacking us. To show that we were cross cutting some theatrical skills we used were sound effects to transition into the car scene moment we made it seem very hectic and alarming just by using sound effects to cross cut. This was one moment when we used cross cutting.

My group tried to really use climax in our drama piece to create suspence and also to give us high levels. To begin with we started with four people making the year 2017 with their body. I played an inspector, who walks around the "year" and says "2017 the year of the rise", by putting my hands in my pocket, making my voice low, subtle but rough to show that i am important and that i mean business. The reason that i only said "2017, the year of the rise" is so that i do not automatically give the story line or anything so it hooks the audience in. After this i clap my hands twice whilst having my back to the "year" and facing the audience.Reacting to the que of me clapping my hands, we all go to lay on the floor and rise with evil looks in our faces, march fowards three steps with our heads held high and then we all bow our heads and with our heads bowed we go back to the "year" but this time making it 1917 (100 years earlier) The reason we started in the future is to get the audience curious and get them building up possibilities in their minds. We the we make the "year" twirl and whilst doing that chalal comes to my side so that it is three people against one: the three zombies and the two humans. In slow motion we walk down stage with our backs towards the audience so that instead of the humans, the attention is on the zombies who are the people need more focus as it is mostly them who are creating the gothic atmosphere. Whilst being cornered we occasionally turn our heads towards the audience exaggerating our facial expressions to highlight the fear. Suddenly we all freeze and the two humans run through the gaps between the three zombies and face the zombies with faces of victory and pride. The two humans shout "EARTH BELONGS TO THE HUMANS YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS HERE AND NO WAY TO INVADE US" in low deep and raspy voices. We humans turn our backs to the zombies and and in slow motion we strut/ stroll away with glorious faces and the zombies stomp in time in the opposite direction  really loudly with snarling, animal-like faces then all of a sudden the stomping stops and we all freeze to creating the highest point of the climax. The two humans turn around in slow motion with petrified faces. Still with their backs to the humans bellow "EXCEPT WE DON'T NEED ANYTHING TO DEFEAT YOU" and they turn around and quickly charge at us causing us to fall down and the bite us facing the audience with wide eyes and in slowmotion. And then we all dropped dead. We stay like that for ten seconds the we all get up in unison and go with pur heads bowed humming in to our old positions as 2017 and we replay the the first scene where we rise from the ground all as zombies with our gruesome blood-hungry faces with our faces held up high and we march forward in time for three steps and then we all bow our heads signalling the end to our performance.

I was the director to this act and i was very pleased with the outcome.

The skill we had used in the drama lesson was cross cutting which allowed transition to take place. This was effective as cross cutting allows the performers to change to scenes whether it being past, present or future. Our group had started with the future where zombies had taken over the world. This leads to the audience feeling and tense and questioning as to what happened and what cause this. Additionally, our group had used transition to indicate that we have moved onto a different scene by moving in unison and creating soundscape. This is effective as it shows that we are now in a different setting and time.

My group used used slow motion and climax and I felt that this was really effect because the slow motion empathised the zombie biting one of their family members.
We also rearranged the order of our piece by showing the last scene first. This then made it easier for us to cross-cut to the past. We all cross-cutted by coming together in the centre and scattering out.
This was effective because then the audience would want to know how they are where they are now and therefore will be interested in seeing how the past was.

What my group used to make the work effective was that we used facial expression. My group also used cross cutting to give a dramatic effect and to know what was going on In the past.
On stage I decided to use miming to make the audience understand the performance and miming sets the scenery.
when using cross cutting what my group did was that one person will get up while the rest of the people will freeze. this makes the audience more focused on the performance.

Yatisha
POINT: Our group used alot  of drama skills such as cross cutting, chorus, sound and our actions were big and you can tell what we were doing.
DESCRIBE: Our cross cutting was effective as the audience was able to know that we went back and forwards into time. We started of in present time, to explain what was going on, then we went back in time to show how the dad became a zombie. Then we traveled back to present time and then to the future. I think this use of cross cutting was effective as it helped the audience gain a image of what was going on and I think we could have worked on sound effects more.
EVALUATE: I think that we could have worked on our movements better and we didn't use that much sound effect. We could also work on our characters as it was hard what the characters were.

D: The climax was built through using sound to introduce the element of fear. One if the characters would have appeared from nowhere adding that a surprise.
E: I don't think we were successful in this because we didn't perform and get an audience reaction. Also we kept second guessing ourselves, wondering if it was good enough.

I think that the way my group used climax was effective . We have stated with a still image were there were two zombies attacking two scientist, after we have cross cut to the  start . In the right beginning the scientist discuss what one of them found out about zombies were they suddenly hear some knocking but they and the audience don't who it is .I think that this  starts  to build the tension. The next moment suddenly  two zombies walk In. I  think that this is effective because the audience did not suspect that happening .

Describe=we all wanted to show our play but then had ran out of time .they were two zombies and are trying there best to move over the people and start to kill them and at the end the zombies will kill the people and will win over them and they are then finish.

Our group used cross cutting to give the effect of time changing and changing the scene. I feel that this was effective because our audience understood that we were creating a different setting. We arranged our piece so that we would start in the present then flash back to the past and then cross cut to the future. I think this is effective because the audience only get the full picture at the end of the piece and want to know what happens so keep watching.
