Here is the video of my performance Train Terror, in this performance, I was working in a group, this group consisted of Rithan, Me, Harang, Nasser, and Adam.To start with I believe that in the performance there are certain points that were done well in the performance, for example, I believe the way we were able to cooperate and execute this play, I also think that we were able to equally delegate the roles and divide the lines for each of us so each one of us had their own line.I also think that we were able to perform our play in a very creative and descriptive way and I also believe that we used our melodramatic skills by making our voice very loud to try and make it like our character , I also think that we used some actions and also a little melodramatic movements to emphasize our character's personality and so we could try and step into our own character's shoes.Overall I believe that our whole group did a very good job in performing the play and working collaboratively together to prepare the play.However, even though I think we have put a very good effort we could have improved this performance through certain points that we could have worked on.Things I believe we could have done was maybe we could have made our performance a little more melodramatic by adding more melodramatic actions and movements to emphasize how melodramatic the performance is.Other than that even though we managed to use some space during our performance but I also think we could have been more spacious while performing.Lastly what I think we could have improved was maybe we could have done a better job in ending our scene as it did not really have a proper ending that could show the audience that the scene has ended also so we would not have to tell the audience ourselves.Other than that another thing that could have enhanced our scene was if maybe we had some props or costumes.For example, for the costumes and the props, I believe that I think for the villain I could have used a black scarf and a black top hat as that could have partially represented my character and that I think I could have improved my melodramatic movements using the scarf as it could have enhanced my movements.Also, for the sidekicks they could have used a costume to highlight their character and to emphasize their character during the scene, for the hero, I think he could have used a cape or a mask so that his character as a hero could be very well expressed in the scene.Lastly for general props I believe we could have used ropes to make the scene a little more realistic as the damsel is tied by a rope so with the real rope it could be much more realistic, also at the end the villain and his sidekick are tied with a rope so that part of the scene could also become much more lifelike.To conclude I believe that me and my time had out an excellent amount of overall effort in the scene and I tink that we have performed it very well and we worked collaboratively very well but for next time we could have improved it through certain points like improving our melodramatic skills so that we can make the scene even better, also to enhance it as much as we can instead of just surpass it by using the improvements but also maybe we can enhance by using additional props and costumes to enhance to the best we can.

Year 8 Drama
MYP:Melodrama
Key Concept:Relationships
Related Concept:Audience, Expression, Presentation
Global Context:Fairness and Development
Statement of Inquiry:A hero saves the day in melodrama to ensure that justice and peace will overrule the destroying plans of evildoers
Inquiry Questions:
Conceptual-Will the hero always destroy the evil plans of the villain to save the day? Will melodrama always have a happy ending?
Debatable-Must all stories have a happy ending? Will good always win against evil? How can the world become a better and more peaceful environment for all?
My Melodrama Characters
The Villain
My Melodrama Characters
The Villain
The Villain
•Cloak
•Evil
•Sly
•Manipulative
•Often "Wrongs" the maiden
Here are my images of my first chosen character which is the villain. First of all, I believe that the villain's poses make up the character because as you see in the first image, the villain's expression is quite sly as the villain shows direct eye contact. The villain hides behind the cloak, which also shows that the villain is sneaky as a reason why the villain is hiding behind the cloak. Other than that, I believe that the villain's expressions in both images really indicate how wicked the villain is. Also, I think that due to his position it really conveys how ignoble and depraved the villain is. Another reason is due to the villain's melodramatic movements; it really shows how black hearted and how diabolical but also how evil, manipulative and devilish the villain is. Lastly, overall I believe that both photographs portray this character through his expression, props ( my clothes) and poses in the pictures.
The Maiden
The Maiden
•Ladylike
•Innocent
•Demure
•Brave
•Victim of the villain
Here are my two photographs of my second chosen character, the maiden. To start off, I think that both images portray my character in a very good way. The reason is that in both images, the maiden's poses show that she is extremely vulnerable as in the images it shows the maiden standing in a very feminine and frightened manner which makes her seem delicate and fragile . Also due to her clothes and her expressions, it makes her seem very faultless and innocent as the poses in the images are very dainty and sensitive and do not show any vigorousness.Meanwhile, her melodramatic movements may be large but it is still very modest,meek and mild which shows that she is very demure and shy but, very diffident.So, overall I think that both photographs represent my character (the maiden) through all the features of the images, the poses, the costume, the expressions and the props.Using all these features I believe that both photographs clearly portray my character.
The Hero
The Hero
•Brave
•Courageous
•Handsome
•Romantic
•Strong
•Rescues the maiden
•Saves the day
Here are the two images for my third chosen character the hero.To begin with, I think that both images really express and portray the hero. First of all, because in both images their expression shows how chivalrous and gallant the hero is. Another reason I believe so is because both of the poses express how brave the hero is, also due to the melodramtic movements in the poses it clearly portrays how couragous the hero is through action and through his movements. Secondly, in the second image, the hero's position really shows how the hero is very heroic. Also, the way the hero stands and is positioned really shows how powerful and self-confident. Meanwhile, due to the hero's melodramatic actions in the first image, this really indicates how audacious and dauntless the hero is while being in action. Other than that, I think that in both images due to the hero's poses this conveys how indomitable and valiant the hero his through his poses and his movements. Lastly, I believe that both images have clearly portrayed the hero due to all the components in the images the costume, the props, the poses and the expressions in the images.
