Good Morning, Year 10.

January 26
Unfortunately half of the class is absent today not allowing us to do group work.
As a consequence, you can finish up work and update your Process Journal

January 28
Decisions, decisions, decisions.  Today in your group decide what you will do.
Decide:
   what your group is going to do (sit-com name, premise)
   who your audience is
   what your message is
   what commedia dell'arte character you will portray
   how you are going to make your character come alive (clothing, props, techniques)

Tuesday we will write the Statement of Artistic Intention in class.

Your Statement of Artistic Intention basically states what you are going to do, why you are going to do it, and how you will do it. Write well defined paragraphs which include substance and detail outlining the following:

What you are going to do   (purpose)
This paragraph includes:
 - what topic you are studying this term in Drama,
 - small background about Commedia dell'arte
 - what your task is,
 - name and premise of your sit-com

Why are you doing this    (message)
 - what is the main message/theme you with to communicate in your sit-com pilot?
 - who is your audience and what last impact do you want this video to have on your audience?
 - why do you think it is important to communicate this message/theme to your "targeted" audience?

How are you going to achieve this   (production and performance elements)
 - what Commedia dell'Arte characters will be represented in your sit-com pilot?
 - how will you bring your character to life? (include costume, props and acting techniques that you will use)
