Monologues

Today in Drama we were writing our monologues. Ms. Cornish told us that we could write a monologue about anything we want. In the end we will film it on location. We had to include

• Who am I?
• How old am I?
• How do I Move?
• Where Am I?
• What Am I Doing?
• How Am I Doing It?
• Why Am I Doing It?
• How Do I Feel?
  

My character is called Anna. She is 16 years old and is anorexic but she won't admit it. In my scene she is staring in the mirror at herself. She is a very depressed young girl. I'm going to film it in a bedroom and there will be pictures of skinny celebrities stuck up all over the mirror and in the mirror i will have a blown up picture of me except fatter to show the audience how she sees herself.
I can't wait to set it up and perform!

Music Video

Yesterday in Media we were told this term we had a choice of four things for our project. We Could

• Make A Sculpture
• Make A Music Video
• Write a Script for a Play
• Or Make a Piece of Clothing

I chose the second one, make a music video, because I am good at music so I can play to my strengths. Although this one suits me most I think it is also one of the hardest because there is a lot to do. At the moment I am writing my proposal. But soon I will have to start filming and recording. I think this will be hard seeing as I have to do my own song (due to copyright issues) which means as well as filming the music video I have to record my song. Although this will be difficult I will rise to the challenge and cannot wait to get started.

My Identity Project

For my identity project, I decided to do a wall hanging on a wooden frame half wood and half with white material stretched over it. In the middle I would a print screen of me in red, purple and orange. Around the print i would have tiles with things to do with me on them. Say for example I sowed a musical note onto the board because I like music. I also did another print screen of my girlfriends because my friends influence who I am. I had all the squares ready on the last day and was ready to stick them on when unfortunately I had an accident. I was running to get some scissors when I injured my foot and had to be taken to A&E so therefore did not finish my project. This was very annoying because it meant on deadline all I could give was a white board and lots of tiles. It would only be me wouldn't it?

CoCo Before Chanel

In the summer holidays I went to se "CoCo Before Chanel". CoCo Before Chanel is a film about Gabrielle Chanel (founder of Chanel Beauty). It was a Bio-Pic. A lot of film critics claimed it was boring. So I was a bit apprehensive when I bought my ticket. I was surprised when I watched it because usually that's not my type of film. But I really enjoyed it. To be fair I didn't understand a lot of the storyline but what I did understand was really good. The film was in French so it had subtitles. I always find this a bit confusing because it is hard to watch the film and the text but you can get used to it after a while. I love love loved the dresses. It was really inspiring to see how someone who started off with literally nothing can go as far as creating Chanel!

The Role of Gabrielle Chanel was played by Audrey Tautou who nailed the part and made it her own.

The clothing was immaculate. Sadly the real CoCo Chanel died at the age of 88 in 1971. But the boi-pic did not include a lot of her time being famous. It was more before that when she was making her way there. She has been a very influential on haute couture. This film helps people to understand CoCo Chanel, it helps you to realize that she was a person not a brand. I think it gives people hope because it makes you feel like even you have a chance of making an imprint on the fashion industry. It shows that, like us, she had a life before she was famous and it was a normal if not poor one. She made her way from scratch proving we can too. I think this film was a brilliant film to her memory.
