2.2: Target Audience for mime

Our target audience for the performance is people around the age group of 11+. The main group is 11-16 year old, but it is welcome to all adults and younger children. It would be ideal if the audience has some interest in modern mime and is willing to try out new things. The audience will easily be able to relate to what we are portraying as we show everyday situations and problems that occur, but just in a more interesting way and a lot more exaggerated. There is no cost to our show, which makes it a lot more accessible to a wider audience.

2.2: Audience Survey Results

From these results, I have learnt that our main audience is those who are 16+. Another thing is not many people haver ever watched a mime performance before, which makes it all the more interesting yet challenging for us to encourage people to watch it. Having said that, it shows that many are willing to watch it which is ideal for us. In question 5, all of the things that people said that they wanted to see included in a mime performance, we have, so this is a huge bonus for us.

2.1.3: Storytelling

1. In groups, devise a short story called 'What I Did Last Night'. Write it as a series of 4-8 bullet points.

What I Did Last Night

- When I woke up at around 11 and had my breakfast.
- Then I did some household chores.
- After that, I got in the bath
- After I was dressed, I decided to go to West End With 3 friends.
- I came home at 10:30 and watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
- Later on that evening, I got tired and went to bed.

2 How would your story change if:

a. it was set 50 years ago
If my story was set 50years ago then I might have still went to west end to go shopping and would have still probably done household chores. However I wouldn't have watched 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' because the programme didn't exist yet.

b. it was set in a third-world country
If it was set in a third-world country then I would have still done chores but most likely wouldn't have gone shopping because there are scarce shopping centres and maybe would have gone out to work instead. I also wouldn't have watched TV because its likely that I wouldn't have one.

c. it was set in a world with no TV or Internet.
If it was set in a world with no TV or Internet then the only thing that would have changed is me watching TV.

3 Go on to discuss how the following factors affect our everyday lives:

a. technology
In the world today, we all depend on technology in order to do things and simply for entertainment. We use technology like computers and internet to socialise and we use technology to learn and in workplaces.

b. social or cultural factors
Social and cultural factors affect our lives quite a lot as there are lots of different types of cultures which have different beliefs that have to be followed. Therefore people's lives are shaped around these beliefs.

c. economics (money).
Money is also a factor that has been made a priority today so nowadays we need money for most things. E.G. food
shelter etc.
So now we use money a lot more, even for entertainment.

2.1: NOTES - Health and Safety in A Theatre

Every workplace has certain hazards within them but as long as rules and regulations are implied and followed, everything should go in order!
Any hazards or accidents that do occur, must be recorded in the accident book. If this is not done then this is classed as a breach of the Health and Safety legislation.
To prevent hazards in a theatre, you should:
- Always have an adequate licensed chaperone at hand if children are on stage and in a performance. They should be supervised at all times and ensure that their safety is in tact.
(Any children under the age of 18 needs to be supervised)
- Leads and cords shouldn't be left lying around as it can cause serious damage as somebody may trip and fall. So to prevent this, cables should be neatly wrapped or tucked away in a particular place
- Also the set needs to be checked and maintained as sometimes when building a set, there is a possibility that nails will be left sticking out. This is extremely dangerous and therefore needs to e checked beforehand.

PERFORMANCE.

The current unit that I am studying is Performance: Unit 2! In this unit, i hope to have succcessfully performed a chosen type of show and then present it to the rest of the school. This show can be an option of a play, concert, variety show or talent show. We have chosen to do our one as a variety show with acting and dancing. We will have to decide on when the show will take place, and devise everything from the show! It will take dedication for it to be a successful show.
