My induction week to BTEC performing arts!

I have really enjoyed are induction week to BTEC performing arts, and have already learnt so much in such a short space of time, and can already tell I am going to have a lot of fun this year. Here is a time table of what I have done this week-

Monday 6th September-
Introduction to the course, and we were given are handbooks, told are expectations of the two year course and the outcomes. We also got given a sheet of paper explaining all are assignments, when they are being given and need to be handed in and what we have to do for each of them. At the end of are lesson we had a question and answer session, where we asked questions about the course and got to know it a bit better.

Tuesday 7th September-
We had a double lesson on Tuesday one with Mrs Hearne and one with Miss Dolan. In Mrs Hearne’s class we learnt about costume design and what colours suit what, we also picked are colours that we are going to be using for are historical costume. In Miss Dolans lesson we were in a computer room, we set up are blog for are performing arts diary log.

Wednesday 8th September-
We were in the media room for this, and for this lesson we learnt how to make a soundtrack which i thought was very fun but at the same time challenging. We did an introduction to mixing soundtracks/music, and learnt how to understand how to pick music for performances. I was in a group with Alice, Danielle and Ellie, our first copy didn’t go so well but then we started getting the hang of it and improved it slightly, with the help of Miss Ship. I would definitely love to do this again!

This week i enjoyed learning how to mix the soundtrack the most as I thought it was a lot of fun, although i also thought this was the most challenging thing of the week as well! I enjoyed everything I have done this week as there has been such a variety of things, and I have learnt so much!
