REFLECTION as the director's assistant

MikeXingHang — 2024-08-27 04:10:28 UTC

Reflecting on my experience as the director's assistant, I realized the importance of effective organization and communication to ensure the team worked smoothly. Coordinating everyone's tasks required careful planning and a strong sense of responsibility. In addition to my role in management, I took on the task of creating the background footage video, which allowed me to contribute creatively to the project. Using my camera as the main camera for the shoot was a significant responsibility, and it challenged me to think critically about framing and shot composition. This experience has deepened my understanding of both the creative and logistical aspects of filmmaking.

REFLECTION

13027972627 — 2024-08-27 07:33:07 UTC

Because this art festival gave me the opportunity to contact the stage lighting design and control for the first time. I designed it according to the story line of the script. Different colors and light intensity were used in different scenes, such as after school, when it rained, in dreams, in temples, etc. But because it is the first time to contact this, so the operation is not very skilled. In addition, every aspect and actors behind the scenes did not have a complete rehearsal, so the PPT, sound effects, lighting, scenery and performance could not be combined at the same time, making the timeline and story line become very confusing. So next time we should strengthen communication and rehearsal, so as to ensure that every part is complete and in line with the script.

REFLECTION

benson1325348063 — 2024-08-27 07:39:51 UTC

In this teamwork performance, my role is an actor. I perform a short yakitori of musical songs.I think my performance was not well prepared because times is a little bit shorts. so I need to do more practice in singing and dancing. Also, in different departments have various idea so I think we need more discuss next times that we can complete the show more better next times.

Deficiencies and improvements

2024-08-27 07:46:39 UTC

I think this 4D festival. I need to work on my acting and singing skills. The movement is not in place, the lyrics are not in place, and the acting needs to be more natural

PPT Creator/Screen manager/Director

3621503302 — 2024-08-28 03:13:27 UTC

In this teamwork performance, my role is to create a PowerPoint for the show, and a screen manager, controlled the screen during performance , also I directed little snippets of stories, for summary of this performance, I think I can do way more better on PowerPoint I made, Because It’s a corporate work, I got information that I need for done my PowerPoint was late, so I don’t have enough time to summary all things together, so next time, I need to communicate more with the other departments, so all departments can work more better next time.

'Origins' Final Programme

'Origins' Playwright - final Script

AleBerryESL — 2024-08-29 02:02:26 UTC

'Origins' play consists of 3 acts with 2 intermissions.

The first act is an introduction to the story and characters in time and space to the audience. The conflict of the story is presented and the tension stressed before the intermission. (1 plot)
The second act is the development of the story where tension of the drama continues to raise before the second intermission (2 plot). The second act in theater is oftentimes in a different environment.
The third act is where the conflict of the story gets resolved and characters show a change.

Intermissions are important pauses that allows stage runners to accommodate props in the stage to set the following act environment that usually changes in regular theater practices.

Reflection

liangkinghin1314 — 2024-08-29 03:17:21 UTC

This is my first week of new school.It was really exciting to start this new semester.In this 4D festival,I was told to make a programme and setting up the stage.I think a did a bad job at it because I've never done something like this before.Hope I can make it much better next time.Also I did a job about putting candles in the stage.I think I did it great because I put it perfectly without any mistakes.After all,It was a fresh experience for me.I need more tutoring and experience for making programmes and setting stages.

REFLECTIN

This is the first time I have participated in the planning of an art festival-related event, and it is also the first time that I have a preliminary understanding of video editing, poster production and stage preparation. Since it was my first time to get in touch with the backstage and pre-production work of the art festival, I had a lot of unskilled and unprepared parts, probably because of the rush of time and the lack of complete rehearsals, so I didn't know much about the placement of props and the timeline was not clear when I was backstage. This is also my first contact with poster design, because this is my first time designing, there may be imperfections in typography, color matching, font selection, but I think it is a good attempt, but also a workout for myself.

evidence of me on 4D festival

CM3HenryWong — 2024-08-30 03:38:49 UTC

stage manager/running crew-first rehearsal its the 4D art festival where Iam the stage manager, I think I did everything I can for the group. I can work better with my classmate which can help my future corporate with other classmates. we had abit of problem in candle placement because when I try to put a long candle next to the other long candle during the scene where I was suppose to put it, it fall down because I think the platform is a bit unstable. my friend was not suppose to go out into the stage to put the candles which is my mistake because I didn't tell him that he can't do that. another problem is that we forgot when we were suppose to take the candles down so the candles were up for almost half of the performance which is also our problems in not knowing the timing. I would need to talk to my crew more clearer about what they can't and can do when the performance starts.
