Hacktivist was written for Connections in 2015. National Theatre commission plays to be performed for young actors.

With out this research I would never of understood the play. From this I could understand why my character strongly held onto her morals and didn't want to follow Beth.

Black Hat Hackers: Criminals and wrongdoers.
A black hat hacker is a computer user who willfully vandalizes or commits theft on other people's networks. The term "black hat" is a way to describe their malicious motivations. Black hats are gifted but unethical computer users who are motivated by money, fame, or criminal purposes. They may steal data to sell it or attempt to extort money from system owners. They are the bad guys of the hacking world.

White Hat Hackers: Ethical hackers who work to protect systems and people.Different from the classic black hat hackers, white hat hackers are driven by honorable motivations or honorable agendas. Also known as ethical hackers, white hats are talented computer security users often employed to protect computer networks.

Grey Hat Hackers: Dabble in both black hat and white hat tinkering.
Grey hat hackers are often hobbyists with intermediate technical skills. They enjoy disassembling and modifying their own computers for pleasure, and they sometimes dabble in minor white-collar hacks such as file sharing and cracking software. They aren't usually motivated by personal gain. Gray hat hackers rarely escalate into becoming serious black hat hackers.

Throughout the process I was told I have excellent projection, I just needed to decide what words I need to emphasis to help to communicate my intention. I sat with Mandy and we broke down each sentence and looked at what meaning it may be carrying or what emotion the character may be feeling. Was he argue or sad when the group went against him. This really helped me see the character in a different light and helped inform which directing I wanted to take it.

How long did we have to learn and put on the play? - To be completely honest I think we had about 6 weeks to learn, stage and do everything else with the script such as look at it etc.

What challenges did I expect to have at the beginning?- To be honest (again) I thought that we would be given less time to rehearse as we did only start a couple weeks ago.

What were the actual challenges during rehearsal process?- There weren't really many apart from learning lines, and making sure you listen to everyone else

PT22- A song that I think should be in the Play.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't really have a particular song that id want in the play just some computer sounds/generic music would suit really. If I had to choose one particular song Id say pumped up kicks for the fact of its upbeat like some of us are.

In todays lesson we basically carried on with the padlet that we made at the research stage of the performance. We have spoken about the staging and about

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion id say my personal strengths are my diction and my projection. Id say these are my best as when I perform id say I'm quite loud and I say it is a strength more than a weakness and my diction again is fairly clear but I do however stutter sometimes.

PT 19- Relationships with people in the play

# data[].attributes.body
Here is a list of the characters in the play and his relationship  to them.

Id say they are all  quite close until the middle of the play where he starts loosing everyone. So him, Steve and Seb start out really close together until Beth comes along and tears them all apart leaving Archie by himself.
I wouldn't say him and Eloise, or him and Hugs or even anyone. I think they started out as a family and got torn apart by a thorn in their way.

# data[].attributes.body
To start my characters name is Archie, He is an 18 yr old "Leader" of his friends, He is very independent and starts of weary of new comers but slowly warms up to them. He doesn't like being wound up or picked on and wants justice. However he doesn't like hurting anyone unlike Beth (Who he has suspicions of from the start).

What can hackers "Hack" into? well to answer they can hack into anything, they can take your identity (Passwords, usernames), steal your money, use and abuse your social security number etc. They can do a lot to tarnish or help a person its their choice whether they help or destroy a person through all of their assets (Facebook, bank etc)

PT14- My Relationships With Other Characters

# data[].attributes.body
In the play I like to be the leader and when that part is threatened he gets defensive and protective. I think out of all the characters in the play he feels closest to Steve (ProfessorV) as he sticks with him until Beth Convinces him to join "Team Beth". And Obviously the one person he hates is Beth as he knows there is something dodgy about her from the start.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I haven't really managed to contribute much as I tend to shy away from a challenge and one of those is contribution. I think the only thing that I contributed was me having a strop in scene 2 when I was filmed for 10 secs begging Daniel cooper to let us in to his party.

# data[].attributes.body
For this particular play I haven't really contributed much as I haven't had any idea about what to say however I think I did say one th8ing abo7ut so

White Hat Hackers- Internet slang for a person who tests methodologies that ensure the security of an organizations information system.

There are a lot of characters that I could say are like mine in the play but I will say who, where from and why in 2 different box's on this padlet.

The themes of the play are mainly Friendship, greed and betrayal however there are other aspects to it. There's other things like manipulation, hacking but mostly betrayal and loyalty as they are a group of friends

PT10.2 -Character 1 that reminds me of my own character

# data[].attributes.body
Caleb Rivers From Pretty Little liars is number 1 on the list of those who reminds me of my character. The reason being is Archie (My character) is quite independent, sarcastic and caring. Caleb is exactly like this. Hes a very sarcastic character and is super protective reminding me of Archie as they both share similar traits and both look after themselves when life comes crashing down. He also helped me develop my character as he shows how sarcastic and protective he can really be.

PT10.3- Character 2 that reminds me of my own character.

# data[].attributes.body
Alec Lightwood from Shadowhunter's is number 2 of the people reminding me of my Character. The only thing that is different about the two is Alec is quite a serious character and follows every rule by the book but they do both share similar traits. These include them both being distrustful towards new characters, very loyal to his friends and sees them as his family trying to keep them safe at all costs. The reason I chose Alec is because watching the show and reading my script I can instantly see the similarities.

PT9- Production Role I think id be good at.

# data[].attributes.body
I Think the one production role id be good at is costume design. The one reason I say this is because for one I can draw and I think if I were to draw a costume I'd do it in detail and with colour. Another reason why I think I would be good at this role is because I like to design things and i've made a few costumes myself.

This is the first side of my character profile which shows you what my character looks like etc.

# data[].attributes.body
In Mandy's lesson we discussed the play and did some research on it as a class and had a group discussion on what we thought hacking was.

Week2
We begun to read through the script and looked at the characters and discussed what we thought each character is portraying. We also discussed which character we would like to play. We put together the foundation of what we want the set to look like for example, tables and chairs, laptops etc.

Week 3
We used improvisation has a starting point to blocking the scenes. This was fun and from this we begun to set the first session. I looked at the development of my characterisation. She needs to be a leader.

Week 4
We were able to block scene 1, 2 and 3 and from my research I was able to have a greater understanding from my character. We discussed our costumes and props and looked at what lighting we would like to introduce. We looked at the transitions and decided we would use music and movement to connect each scene.

# data[].attributes.body
So the set for the play is set in a school environment in a student run IT lab lead by me (Archie). The set is literally computers and card readers left right and centre. We call the lab "The Portacabin" which is our little hang out space.

# data[].attributes.body
The costumes we have for our performance is basically a school uniform but we have to wear it how we think our character would wear their uniform, whether they don't wear their tie, whether they don't wear a jumper, buttons are not done up etc.

This is the second part of the character sheet I did showing what my character says and does along with some personal information.

Pt 3- How am I going to use this research in the play?

# data[].attributes.body
One way I will use this research is when I'm writing my evaluation I could add in some research to show that I
understand what the play is actually about and what every word in the script given means.

Pt 2- Actual research on what hackers are and things about the play (Brief)

So the term "Hacker" means a person who uses computers to gain unnotarized access to data. This information relates to the play because at first we start out as harmless teenagers wanting to have fun until the new girl comes along forcing us to hack into things such as banks and etc.

# data[].attributes.body
We are doing a play named Hacktivists, the play is about a group of friends who love to mess around with computers and hacking into harmless things until the new girl comes along and changes most of them into some sort of criminals.
