Task 2

Chosen Job Role

I’ve selected the role of a Production Manager as I find these rather critical to any form of performance as they’re tasked with the ideal of being able to organising the deadline and pre-set schedules such as meeting points of when the task has to be accomplished such rehearsal periods, audition preparations; although that they’re required to be able to give accurate and well evaluated research into the progression of the performance by assessing the performance speed and transition between the quality of the piece.

It’s crucial that they’re able to assess and be ready to have an effective measurement plan put aside for any health and safety matters regarding the performance space as well use of production equipment, as this is important due to the safety of the audience as well performers themselves.

It’s required of them to have a strong ideal view on persuasion/negotiating, therefore allowing them to engage with potentially inquiring a higher budget for the performance.

They’re tasked with the objective to obtain the correct materials and resources for the performance, as this is to ensure that the process doesn’t slow down due to lacking anything of necessities.

It’s also important that the Production Manager is capable of being able to negotiate better sales or to have the fundamentals to locate and acquire better offers on anything that is needed in order to save the performance some budgeting.

They must also be able to analyse and keep a strong awareness of the staff members such as attendance. It would be essential for them to mainly understand the progression of each individual actor by issuing effective training sessions

It’s required that they’re able to understand their responsibilities for the choice and selection of maintenance of equipment, as well to keep an effective transitioning communication between each department to support an ongoing consistent trade of requirements; as they would also be needed to keep a repeat of morality push towards the team, so none of them fall behind or slow down.

The Production Manager is someone who is required to be around constantly without taking any form of day or time away from the production to forward the succession and development of different aspects of the performance, whether it would be the performance side or technical side; as this is effectively done through ongoing versatility when it comes to adjusting the plans of the performance.

Personal Profile

I’m Bradley Dale a current ongoing Drama Student who has spent over four years studying Performing Arts as I’ve learned a good majority of essential skills that’s helped me throughout. I’ve had a good amount of understanding of the essential studies so far such as practitioners being: Stanislavski which has given me the basic knowledge of the Stanislavski method or what would be classed the American way; although this isn’t the only way of having an approach towards the performance that’s hand yet I find it rather helpful since using total emotional recall as this is very effective for developing some response towards acting certain scenes and moments.

As I’ve also have found looking into the Given Circumstance as well The Magic If very handy, as these allow me to have a better view on what I’m performing or how to come about deciding my characters perspectives and angles by what they’ve been through or are currently going through and how this has an impact including the 5w which are who, what, where, why and when? These allow me to also evaluate the characters profile and how they should act plus react towards certain characters regarding relationships and thoughts.

I have also learned about the main qualities of Brecht Bertolt’s techniques and approach towards engaging and developing an effective scene or performance based off of Epic Theatre, as this was quite a challenge in the beginning, on the contrary I found it to be quite intriguing contrasting to how Stanislavski’s techniques are used and how differently they develop and present as the ending outcome.

I’ve been able to increasingly improve on my analysing and devising skills, as I find these both to have been very challenging in the beginning as I found it to be very difficult to break down scripts into points of views, furthermore identifying characters intentions, goals, context as well use of actions and defining meanings of Shakespeare; although that I’m still not massively precise on my translation of Shakespeare I would like to improve on this through consistent practice as well by looking further into other way’s or directions of breaking down text into modern English, so that I would be able to understand the conversations and dialogue more clearly.

I’m able to accurately select a piece of stimulus for devising an appropriate piece with some form of definition behind it, as this will allow me to develop pieces to deliver critical or current defining messages towards my audience.

I still find it rather tricky to forward my ideas as there’s moments where my leadership/coordinate skills are conflict which ends up with me blocking or even disallowing myself to contribute ideas at certain times due to my confidence. I would love to acquire a stronger form of self confidence and trust with myself by tasking myself with more individual based tasks as well by taking on more difficult scenarios and approaches; although that this isn’t a massive goal, I would like to improve on this through doing Directing Courses and with the script analysing I would like to engage in script writing.

I’ve got a strong understanding in structuring and developing a short based movie with a unique plot as this would also include being able to find decent stimulus idea’s based around ongoing events throughout our day’s now such as using social acts for observational purposes in gathering an effective idea to develop on top of.

I have good approach for when it comes to movement within pieces and being able to create and present decently shaped presentations with use of effective persuasive reasoning and evidence to back up my statements of why I’ve chosen this as my approach.

I found being able to provide an alright presentation helpful as this can be used to back up my performance research in several different aspects such as being the performance side, technical side or even staging; where as these all have different approaches.

I have in an overall measurement have gained a group of various skills such as one of them also being versatile and adjustable to choices of characters, as these will allow me to have an equal understanding of the contrasting difference of theatre and film, however give me a clear view on how to have the basic level of needing to approach my next stage in improving on all of these with my directing and writing side, as I would love to advance my academic side of experience.

Why would I love to improve on my academic side of skills? I’m hoping to do this through persistent and ongoing development of text, context and even presentational skills as these will expand on my connection method of negotiating in backing up anything, as this would also help me to explore a more broad vocabulary.

I’m hoping in my overall term to increase my project management based skills for being able to successfully produce something that could have an impact within the industry through being able to identify much deeper meanings in text, as I would also like to be able to produce or design my own projects without needing to combat myself by blocking my opinions or idea’s.

Actor Profile

I have chosen Taron Egerton for my option of inspirational actor as he has worked himself up throughout film as well various different theatre acts such as: (No Quarter at The Royal Court and The Last Of the Huassmans at the National Theatre.)

He has studied throughout his years around 2012 at RADA doing the filming and acting course.

I find him to be very aspiring due to the fact that he is involved within loads of action based medieval films and series that I hope to some point take part in within the future.

He’s most highlighted role within the filming industry was playing the main casted character for who was Robin Hood; although that he hasn’t done much but it shows me that he reached the point of playing a highly renown role by acting through theatre.

I found out that he is also rather good with various accents which were acquired through training at RADA as his CV is also very straight forward without mentioning any other previous experiences, let alone just theatre and film’s he’s taken part in.

Chosen Progression Routes

As one of my choices I have selected Royal Central School of Speech and Drama Acting Course as this course contains several different routes to go down such as the acting for screen as well theatre and even tv, I have chosen this course as it’ll help me to expand on being able to enhance my script analysing.

I have decided to go for this course in particular due to the fact that It’s also separated into several parts; even though it’s more based around the acting side and less of directing and writing, I’ve chosen it for the purpose of being one of my options.

It’s mostly aimed towards theory however can still help my improve on my academic side of theory evidence, therefore encouraging my presentation skills and in developing my research to cover up my side; as this will allow me to expand on my in-depth research into plays as well monologues.

I have chosen analysing LIPA as my other choice which entails the Acting (Screen & Digital Media) course, as this is more aimed around script writing, acting, directing as well being able to learn about dealing with other optional roles.

I’ve decided that this would benefit me due to being able to expand on my versatility for when it comes down to having a more stronger understanding of other roles and how to operate them throughout the industry to allow me to have a more clearer acknowledgement of how to setup and work with these positions.

It’ll also allow me to increasingly improve on my development of stories and scripts by having a more insightful view on other practitioners as well how to engage the one’s that I’ve learned about into the scripts more effectively; although this isn’t completely essential that it’ll allow me to reach out to the audiences in other possible methods by using fundamental techniques to impact the story as this also involves new structures.

I have chosen London Film Academy’s BA (Hons) Filmmaking course as one of my choices as it also welcomes the objective to being able to learn and understand with more context on being able to influence other practitioners methods, techniques and training into my possible future projects, therefore allowing the audience to become more intrigued through creating a rather different atmosphere.

This course covers several area’s such as learning about how the other roles operate within the industry and how to engage myself into taking part in any project with such roles as it provides training into them such as: ( Screenwriting, Directing, Cinematography, Sound, Editing ); although this is rather broadly separated throughout different roles, I reckon that this would benefit me due to making it more easier for me to join other projects with more experiences.

As this will allow me to effectively get known through connecting via different departments as for If I end up deciding to progress with my main priority roles such as directing/writing or acting, I’ll be able to expand my connections to assist with the requirements that I would need to do so for my projects.

The course also presents to those who have passed all the way throughout it with potential contacts for future references as well individual experience and challenges within different departments as this will encourage me to challenge much more combating challenges such as special effects work.

I’ve selected MetFilm as my most prioritised option for where I love to educate, due to the mass amount of options that It promises such as the BA Practical FilmMaking (3 Years) course, as this contains a good variety of additional experiences such as a heavily in-depth experience into maintaining a successful film script; although it’s mostly based around Acting, Directing and Writing, It encourages moments of independent work with open lectures for ongoing inquiries when needed.

It also has several new experiences that I can explore such as Factual episodic based projects as well Long Term full projects, as MetFilm’s Film Course welcome’s a strong structure of learning within several different stages over the years as this also includes being able to identify and how to use screen in different various ways.

As my final option I have chosen the Acting for Stage & Screen at Regent’s University London; even though this doesn’t expand in as much area’s as the other educational chosen places, I find what they expand on to be quite helpful due to being able to understand the Script work and directing with more in-depth can be help me through proceeding in the future as well deciding where I’d like to go next after this chosen place.

They teach about the other departments and roles, however It allows me to also target my theatre skills with proceeding these further on to enhance my vocal skills more effectively on stage.

This course also contains more research into the current practitioners and the 19th, 20th century plays; although It allows a more selective branch when it comes down to the semester changes allowing us to allocate ourselves to a different section of research that we would like to look into and study.

Task 3

UCAS Statement

I’m applying for your course as I wish to improve myself in preparation for the future of the
film industry. I’d love to be able to develop my interests in the movie industry by creating
all kinds of genre based films.
 
I would love to be a part of the new generation of providing journey’s for audiences to watch
by engrossing them with all kinds of techniques and methods, as my ambition comes along with
wanting to understand the current practitioners that I’ve studied into and how to deploy what
they’ve done into developing structure movies such as Stanislavski. I’d like to know what
makes a good film script and how I could utilise this into my own approach. As I would like to
also work on how to make a decent performance and how to also learn the mechanics and
fundamentals of what makes a well-formed Drama.
 
My aim is to use what I’ve learned so far: as In devising, scriptwriting and also the work of
Stanislavski, I have learned about using resources and pieces as stimuli to generate some
possible source to develop into a structure in order of creating the basic standards of a
movie with the objectives and obstacles as this also involved me needing to explore and
dissect the crucial parts of film such as the ‘bomb under the table’; although this wasn’t my
most favourite example that I’ve seen I found it fascinating to learn about as the audience
was aware of the situation yet the gents sitting at the table wasn’t and the ‘tension’ it
constructed upon time being used as another technique to provide interest to the audience. I
would like to the audience.
 
I’ve enjoyed what I have learned so far throughout my course years at Colchester Institute as
I have learned how to work from a simple chosen term which could be an ‘apple’ and how to
develop that into a scene which doesn’t mean it’s required to be used all the time. I have
also learned about different ways of exploring character developed and how to manifest my
ideas into a scene in order to create a functioning relationship between different characters
as well how to have it so they develop throughout regarding scenarios, magic and the Given
Circumstances.
 
I have always participated in any possible opportunity that came my way such as being able to
work behind the cameras on set as this helped me to visualise how everything is manually done
on set and what it takes to maintain an accurate and affective team: as I was amazed by the
way everything is operated and how all the departments are coordinated through various ways,
especially for when I firstly got a glance at the puppet dogs with handles in them yet wasn’t
aware of that being a way of creating lively animals on set.
 
As I am hoping to explore further into other possible types of theatre like Epic Theatre,
Theatre of Cruelty: so I’m able to use these different types on stage or in front of the
camera to impact the audience.
 
I enjoy doing performing in front of the camera as well on stage, as it’s exciting to be able
to explore the characters history and what’s going on: it’s that I find it completely
enjoyable to understand and live the lifestyle that they’re going through. I attend screenings
quite often to ask a different variety of questions to understand the ways that other
directors and writers have taken to find the concept of the movie. I’m hoping to take my final
step into higher education for the purpose of expanding my current knowledge and skills.
