Final Task Reflection

The strengths of our performance were that we were able to show the audience what we intended otherwise our character movement/Gesture, personality and interactions were clear. The audience understood our characters. Our mimed interactions and audience interactions were somewhat good alongside the length of our performance, it was barely at 2:30 seconds, therefore we needed to improve that. Our language and sound effects were not that good, clearly we did not focus on that part of the scenes and should have done that.

If I were to score my performance I wold rate our own performance 22-25 out of 35, since we got some of the clear sections done, but the details within the performance were untouched, we need to focus on that for the next unit.

Overall I think that the absolute BEST part about our performance was the relationship between the characters, that was clearly shown and interpreted throughout the performance, how Harlequino always ruined Pantalone's plans, and the various different pranks Harlequino performs, it was actually a pretty fun task to act out.

If I were to improve it, I would certainly look to the areas that we did not meet first, which are: Language, Gramelot, Audience interaction and the total duration of the performance, after touching upon those matters and especially fixing the gramelot issues I will move on to the areas that were met but no so greatly, such as interactions, clear structure of the scene and mimed interactions, they were met according to the rubric but need serious improvement! therefore after touching up on all factors that I think should be fixed, I believe our performance should go up to the 28-30 score bands, or a 7-8 out of ten (maximum).

Other groups...

First Group (Who did as well as us): Taseen and Arshad (Maybe they were better)

Strengths: They had good interactions, we understood who the characters were (Arshad, yours was a bit confusing), but afterwards we got to understand the scene, you had a few audience interactions and actually a fair use of gramelot... Nice job!

Score: I would score their performance maybe a 26 (minimum) and 28 (maximum) or a possible 7-8 out of 10

Best part: The best part was when Taseen was explaining this part to Arshad and he did not seem to understand, though later on he did.

Improvements: More Gramelot (Just like us)

More sensible audience interactions 

And show a clear structure of the scene, so that we (audience) can understand.

Second Group: Shopnil and Jawwad 

Strengths: Their group was somewhat better than ours in terms of entertainment, I liked theirs aswell especially during the points when Shopnil was trying to explain something, Jawwad (Pantalone) ruined it, and teased him. Perfect relationship, nice job guys!

Scores: I would rate their performance a 30-32 out nof 35 or a possible 8-9 out of 10, since they did meet most of the requirements (INCLUDING GRAMELOT, Congratulations for that!)

Best part: Again the explanation scene and the great use of audience interactions was nicely done

Improvements: To get the maximum grade, you would need to have a longer scene

Maybe more interactions, since we did find it a bit continuous, other than that, the performance was AWESOME!

Both groups including our one did pretty good from my perspective, we enjoyed the task and probably hope to do something like this in the near future!
