03+Outcome+3+Performance+process

=Documenting the performance process= This outcome requires you to document the steps and processes you use, to create your ideas into performance.

The task sheet will help you select specific examples of techniques or strategies you used at different stages of your development.

The idea is for you to identify which techniques you used, describe how you used them to create characters / plot / scenes / action AND evaluate which of these techniques worked for your group.

Sometimes you try something and it just doesn't get you anywhere, so you eventually have to try something else. This is what you must document, so over the 5 -6 weeks you can see your performance come to life.

Somehow, you will end up with a performance of some description, even if it only created under pressure through lots of improvisation the day before! (Not advised, but your process journal would describe what got in the way of getting the performance created progressively prior to this last dash panic attempt!)

You should have an individual journal for each time you meet as a group (for most of you this will mean each class, but some groups are meeting outside of class to do planning or filming, so these sessions should be journalled as well.) The individual journal is your record and personal comments on what has been achieved, how you are feeling about the ideas, progress, any problems that arise, how your group resolves or works around these problems. You can even give each session a rating out of 10 as to how successful or productive you think the time was used towards achieving your performance goal.

Your journal should also include documentation of your individual contribution to the group - research, script writing, finding music, keeping records of the group ideas, helping the group stay on task etc. Your individual journal can be kept on your own page on wikispace, or as a word document which can be handed in, or it can be hand written. Remember, as a folio task you should include evidence of other research, scripts etc, so if you don not use the wikispace, you have to present your documentation in another way, such as a folder of work like we did in Unit 1.
