METH 'Jessica' PSA ad ~ English

'Jessica' Meth PSA. Harmful effects of drugs

There is a clear connection to drugs in the ‘Jessica’ PSA ad that talks about a teenage girl named Jessica that is addicted to meth and her story. This is shown by the use of lighting in this ad, showing that Jessica’s life went from happy, joyful, energetic to dark, and shows the addiction she now has and how it’s impacted her life and others. This is demonstrated when it went from her on the cheer squad with the crowds cheering for her to then getting gradually worse over time. The director's purpose is to show the audience that meth or any type of drug can mess up your life and break close relationships with people. This situation reminds me of all the stories or movies that show the theme that drugs will mess up your life and how overall will mess up your future.

View pointing 2 ~ Drama

11.02.20
In Drama, we are learning about improvising techniques and ways. We did multiple drama games.

This lesson we focused on Shape and Kinetic response and resilience training

ways we showed it :

• When someone would move another person will either copy the action or just stand there doing their own thing ( which is the whole point of kinetic response ) 
• When you are on stage you got to act like your character if someone makes you laugh you make sure not to because of that apart of the training.... not to laugh.

View Points ~Drama

In drama, we are learning all these different techniques. For this point, it is view pointing. View pointing is an actors point of view there are nine different viewpoints.

Viewpoints of space ( Spataitial Relationships, Architecture, Floor Pattern)
Viewpoints of the Body  ( Shape, Gesture)
Viewpoint of Time  ( Kinaesthetic response, Repetition, Duration, Tempo)

Spatial Relationships:
This is the distance between the stage, body distance, body to objects, body to body, or an object/piece of architecture.


Architecture:
The physical environment in which you are working with and how aware of space/movement

Floor Pattern:
It is a floor pattern that actors may choose. This determines how the actor gets to place to place.


Shape:
It's peoples body relating to one another to make a certain type of body shape in space.

Gesture:
A movement involving a body part/s that gives shape to express what you are talking about. It's another way to get a point across in a story.

Kinaesthetic Response: 
This is a physical reaction to something which occurs outside you.

Tempo:
The rate or speed at which a movement occurs. For example, fast or slow something is happening.

Duration:
How long a movement or sequence of movement continues.

Repetition:
Repeating something on stage. It can be an exact copy or it could be a variation.

Grit:
Meaning it is resilience. Never giving up. Having a growth mindset.
