Still Images

In class, we created a few still images from Rio de Janerio. We wanted to showcase the rich and the poor and how living in favelas can affect your daily life.

In this one, three of us are begging and one is selling a stolen phone. This shows the life of people in favelas. Everyone is poor and sad with no money and therefore have to beg to survive. Their lives are affected because they live in a poor environment and therefore have to resort to stealing items and selling them which we have also showcased. I think that this unit will help us have a more realistic take on acting and how we can incorporate it in real life

Here, We are on yacht and are living the rich life. I am driving the boat with my chin high and everyone is sightseeing and having fun. I feel that they don't really know what is going on outside of their lavish lifestyle. They are oblivious about the poor people and have no idea that there is a favela. They're happy and are subconsciously ignorant about how people have to survive not actually ever fully live.

    Fantastic; a great example of using still images to demonstrate understanding, and your descriptions give a clear context to each scene.

Through thought tracking we were able to emphasize how the favelas are overshadowed by the rich people and how the rich have never known how the poor feel because they are busy worrying about something that is probably a first world problem. For example, not being able to travel with their parents. Meanwhile, the poorer person does not have any parents because they got involved with drug lords which is very common in the favelas. We can see a lot of this in Rio de Janeiro as we saw in the pictures as a class. The rich are treated like royalty and the poor are treat...

Set Design Notes

16th April 2018 Set Design Set design are traditionally drawn in a bird eye's view. They can be drawn in pencil or online on softwares. To design a set, we need to use the text and the directors vision. we need to take in account the location of the audience and see if props block the views of the audience.  All directions about design should be based on the text if there is mentioned information in the playbook. The director gets to interpret the text to create a vision that then becomes the set. He then meets with the other designers and discusses the vision to make it come to life. Directors could also use metaphors on stage. For example, if there are bookshelves falling on top of each other. It could mean the destruction of education or knowledge Scenic Design- - The director must take into account what the place looked like at the time. What forces of weather may have acted on it? What was happening historically at the time? Level of technology? Example, a gove...
