Weeks review

This week we started creating "Goldilocks and the three bears". We were considering different ways to tell the story, not including just basic acting like we did in red riding hood. We decided to use silhouette to tell this story. We turned our drama room into a silhouette area.We hung a big thin sheet from the ceiling and placed a light behind it at the back of the room. We began by creating the three bears. Each bear was created by multiple people. I play the characer Goldilocks, so i cant be involved in creating the bears. I was able to help them by looking at what the silhouette looked like from the audiences view. By doing this i was able to direct each person into different positions to help the bears look more realistic.

The next lesson we went on to create the woods that Goldilocks walks through at the start. We created trees, plants and a small bird. I think that using silhouette is about trial and error, we had to try multiple different things, in different ways until we found something that worked. Goldilocks is able to interact with the trees and plants and birds.

Next week we are going to start the creating the objects inside the bear house.
