In this lesson we learnt about melodrama and melodrama is drama, such as a play, film, or television program, characterized by exaggerated emotions, stereotypical characters, and interpersonal conflicts.

it is the dramatic genre characterized by this treatment. Melodrama come around in the 18th century.

 

In this lesson we was put into 4 group of 3 people called A, B and C we got given a script and in thi script was a hero, villian and damsel. The script characters were called villian, godfree and rose-marie,

I played rose-marie (Damsel) Jamie Glasgow played godfree(hero) and nikita played the villian, and we had to overdramatically perform the show  but without any speech, we then had to perform them to the class. After we then again had to perform the same script but with speech. After we got into 3 groups, two groups of 5 and one group of 4, we had another script and there was parts I was a narrator, jamie was the damsel, ozzie was the villian, Nikita was the hero charlie was just a postman. With this script we had to cross cut which was a explorative Strategy and is used a lot in Drama. Once you have written the script for a couple of scenes you use Cross-cutting to re-order them and create a piece of drama, with this script only the narrator speaks the rest of the cast perform the script without speech, we performed them to the class.
