What skills do you feel you have developed in this unit?
I think I have developed a few skills during this unit such as staying in character and collaborating with others. When we were given our character profiles we had to learn more about the character in depth as well as act like the character. The way I represented my character was by having a Russian accent and talking about my interests. At first I was really bad at putting on an accent as representing my character. However, as the unit moved on I tried to have a Russian accent. I think it was the hardest during the scenes where I have to stay in character.
What were your greatest successes during the unit?
One of my successes was when we had to come up with ideas for the last documentary we had to do. Also I collaborated with the others members of the house for the scenes and documentary we had to do. Finally, the last success was that I made my character unique and different from the others.
Do you think Tv/film can change the way we see the world?
Yes, because reality tv targets our emotions and so it is essential for reality tv to be dramatic, as to evoke certain feeling towards the characters. Meanwhile in movies it is hard to separate the facts from the fiction. If the reality tv star has a impact on you, your behaviour could be similar to the character. However in movies, the way in which we perceive fictional characters has a direct impact on what we expect reality to be like. It changes our perspectives and as a result we have unreal or unrealistic expectations.
What reaction did your performance get from the audience, and was it expected or planned for? (what was your original objective?)
During the documentary, the audience were paying attention and interested. During some parts the audience laughed. However, at the negative parts of the documentary, the audience were quite shocked or disturbed. This shows that the emotions during the documentary had an influence on the way the audience reacted. Although, almost during end the audience clapped when we were not dome. We can solve this situation by giving an indication that the scene is not over.
How can you apply your newly developed skills to other performance work in the rest of this course or to another subject?
I could use collaboration any subjects that involve group work. When we have to be in groups we have to share ideas and be considerate of every single member's opinions and point of view to be a succesful team. We could use staying in character in any other play. In addition, in english if we have to read a book and you are reading out the speech of a character then you have to stay in character and talk like the character.

Don't forget that in order to get the highest marks, you must go into detail about questions given. For instance, when you say "One of my successes was when we had to come up with ideas for the last documentary we had to do. Also I collaborated with the others members of the house for the scenes and documentary we had to do. Finally, the last success was that I made my character unique and different from the others"... You could've described HOW you made your character different and unique. You could've described HOW you collaborated with others and WHAT your ideas were.
