Passion Project - Move to Improve; 12 Minute Run

For my Passion Project we had multiple fitness tests but our group chose the 12 minute run. I think I did pretty good because I somehow ran for 9 minutes straight even though I think I'm a short distance runner.

I completed 4 laps (400 meters a lap) in twelve minutes time and I researched online to see if 1600 meters is a average distance for people our age.

I couldn't find a distance for people our age for 1600 meters instead I found one for men who are from the 20 age range, It says 1600 meters is below average for people in that age range.

I reckon I did average for people in our age range.

However after he decided to take a break from taking bounties and then returning to his village, his village was invaded by a band of bandits.

The bounty hunter then observed his surroundings then carried out a plan to take out the bandits, then after he defeated the bandits the villagers got together then built a new home together.

English Film Study - Understand how Characters are Developed in a Film

For the sixth task for film study we had to choose four lead characters and then understand how they reacted to challenges they faced.

For my first character it's a knight of the old code; Bowen

Characters Name - Bowen

A Challenge Faced by the Character - Draco being captured by the enemies.

How the Character Reacted - Bowen wanted to save Draco even though he was in enemy territory and none of his troops were willing to help him when he asked.

What that shows us about the Character - Bowen wanted to save an ally even though no one was willing to answer Bowen when he asked if anyone wanted to save the dragon with him. This shows Bowen will save his ally even if he is risking his own life.

Second Character will be the malicious king; Einon

Characters Name - Einon

A Challenge Faced by the Character - When the villagers were led by Bowen to storm his castle.

How the Character Reacted - Einon knew the villagers were led by Bowen and his troops were underestimating them. Einon told his troops to not underestimate Bowen.

What that shows us about the Character - Even though Einon harms his allies he also warns them about something dangerous they don't know about. I think this shows Einon does care for his allies or he just wants them alive to keep him alive or in other words he's using them as pawns.

The third character will be a peasant who escaped from Einon; Kara

Character Name - Kara

A Challenge Faced by the Character - Trying to stop Einon from killing her father.

How the Character Reacted - She begged Einon to release her father from the quarry by giving Einon reasons why. However Einon ends up killing the father then Kara tries to assassinate Einon even though he was hosting a party with all his troops.

What that shows us about the Character - I believe Kara is the type of person who will avenge anyone that is important to her even if it costs her life.

The last Character will be Draco

Character Name - Draco


A Challenge Faced by the Character - Draco trying to tell Bowen that dragons weren't at fault of Einon's Evil Nature.

How the Character Reacted - When Bowen stumbled upon Draco near a waterfall, Draco and Bowen had a fight from morning till night and Draco called for a truce between them. Draco and Bowen travelled through the night and Bowen started to trust Draco. These two then travelled together to try and stop Einon, it took Draco many days to convince Bowen that Einon was always evil once Bowen trusted Draco they both planned to storm Einon's castle with villagers they gathered but in the end these two can't always be together.

Drama - Body and Movement

This week at Drama we are blogging about what we know about Body and Movement in Acting and how Actors can use their Body and Movement.

Actors can use body gestures to express emotions and future actions. Actors can also use a certain posture to tell the audience a clue what that character the actor is. 

Actors can use movement to tell the audience how the character is feeling like walking on the same pattern over and over. If actors were running desperately you would know if they were chasing something.
