Holocaust drama stimulus

During our first lesson, as a strain we went through a slide introduce of dissimilar awful sees. These horrible pictures represented what the Judaic battalion had to go through during the period in which the Holocaust took place. As a class, we discussed some how we tangle flavor at these pictures and these smell outings and emotions were spillage to help us create a new gentlemans gentleman of drama later on.The pictures that were being barf in front of us make me feel disgusted, it made me feel disgusted that a social unit race eject happily discriminate and wipe out an some early(a)(prenominal) race simply beca occasion they did non fit in or beca consumption they were not a alike(p)(p)d. I was shocked and angry because no virtuoso took action as no one unfeignedly knew this massacre was taking place. We were pass through the slide make which exhibitioned these horrid pictures of innocent women, men and even children acquire killed, doomed in piles of b odies or being in re alin concerty bad conditions, these pictures made the line feel divers(prenominal) it made the aura feel gloomy and depressing.Everyone who sit in the room went from feeling quick to feeling sad and miserable save suddenly a picture of a man who was behind undivided(a) of this cruelty came up, at this express in all in all I felt was anger but I besides felt pity for him. I felt pity for him because I didnt understand how someone can be this cruel to human beings. When the snatch of soldiers and one of Hitler laughing with some people was juxtaposed with the photos of the Jewish people in the camps it made me feel conf utilise with different emotions such as anger and sadness.This was a picture which in truth made me think about what Jewish people really had to go through. I could see a huge sort of run acrosstless and cold blooded German soldiers at the fend for watching Jews being shot in the rearward of the power point one by one, it seemed like it was some sort of entertainment for them and this was a day to day event. While the soldiers be just watching, a Jewish man is sitting beside his own death waiting to join all the former(a)s who prolong already been sent tear. There was nothing he could do to stop him from falling into the death whole. I think on that point is some sort of juxtaposition in this picture. The soldiers who atomic number 18 enjoying and the Jewish who atomic number 18 next to their death hasten been lay side to side disdain their differences and despite the contrast among them. When we were thinking about being a Jewish person it made me feel miserable. People who were Jewish knew they were going to die one day or another, they were just waiting for their keep to be taken by one of the heartless Germans, and living like this everyday with such a thought must have been horrific.I later then apply these intumesce-built feelings and emotions to help me maintain a healthful and realis tic character. These feelings made me focus on the character in which I was playing it made me focus on what the character may have felt like and what the character went through. I then used all these factors to change the tone of my voice and the way I behave because and appropriately to match the character I was playing.Task 1 afterward the discussion we were told to create three still images in our groups. We used all the emotions and feelings that a Jewish person may have had and interpreted it as our own. The still images had to include a family who represented three stages of their lives1. Life before anything happened2. When they received the letter about what was going to happen to them3. The family falling into pieces initiative simmer down IMAGE Happy family before anything happens.1. The height between separately character is different. Brandon is much higher then the rest, this shows that Brandon has higher authority and is a much important member of the family, they have used height arrangements in a clever way as the earr each(prenominal) can cursorily spot out who has higher authority within the family.2. The group uses hand gestures to try and promulgate the consultation thing. This ruinicular gesture shows that the family argon going to eat their dinner this is represented with the way their arms and hands are positioned. only all the hand gestures are regular hand gestures, the group should have tried using different variations.3. Facial expression has been used to express emotion, khaled has a smile on his face this indicates that he is happy. However this expression looks unrealistic so to make this better khaled should have through a more realistic smile.4. Proxemics has been used by the group to show the spacing between separately character. They are all tightly jammed in showing a good family atmosphere.5. The group has tried to use their body language to show the audience that they are a family who are dragable around i ndividually other. This is make well as they are well packed in together and are slouching in towards severally other. The posture also shows the aforesaid(prenominal), the way they are sitting around each other shows that they know each other very well.2ND STILL IMAGE this still image shows the stage in which the family has received shocking news1. Facial expression has been used again by Brandon to show the emotions. The facial expressions that have been used by Brandon show that the family are in shock due to something that has happened or due to shocking information they have received. From this image you can see that Brandon has his face wide open eon looking at the document. This has been successful as the audience can quickly spot out that Brandon is shocked.2. Hand gestures have been used by khaled. In this image khaled look like he is holding something such as a young infant or a baby. However, holding a young infant does not fit in the scenario and it seems like it has been put there randomly. The group should have picked hand gestures that are affiliated to the situation.3. The body language and posture between Rebecca and Calleh shows that they are trying to comfort each other as they are in distress this has been done well as they are both very low down and their head are facing downwards while holding each other.4. Proxemics has been used again in this image to show the relationship between two individual by putting them very close to each other. From the body image of the two characters, we can tell that they are in great distress and they are trying to comfort each other by holding each others arm.5. The levels show you who are more upset within the family and who are in more distress. We can tell that the men are taking the situation calmly although they are in shock but the women are in more distress.third STILL IMAGE Stage in which each family member has to relinquish and make their own way.1. Brandon has used facial expression we ca n tell that he is not happy in fact he is kind of a an angry and upset about leaving everyone. His facial expressions are quite powerful as it looks realistic.2. Their postures and body language gives a hint to the audience that they are not happy. Everyone has their head down showing that they are in distress but the character that had the higher authority (Brandon) is looking back at everything.1. Everyone is now at the same height and stages, this shows that they are all at the same stages and shows that they all have the same values and good deal (they were all going to die).2. Gestures have been used, each member have put out their hand, this tells the audience that they do not want to leave each other, and want to come back together as a family. utilise arms as a method of connection within individuals is quite powerful.3. Proxemics(the use of space) represent that they are all now separating from each other to go live their own lives, this is shown as they are further b y from each other and there is no way of coming back together.This group told the audience something new, we were told that Jewish family were like any other families and they lived a normal life such as having family dinners together. Jewish families had nothing that was different from other families but due to new laws and rules they had to leave each other and its not very easy to leave someone who is part of your family. This group have worked well as a group to show real emotions and all the gestures they have acted out were realistic devising the whole cognitive operation realistic and effective.We analysed the poem at first as a class, we could feel the tension around the classroom building up as we were going through the poem. When the poem was being read by the teacher, it felt like a Jewish boy was talking to us directly, it felt so realistic as when the poem was read out, slow and ablaze string medicament was going on in the background qualification every individual feel upset and emotional. The mixture of the long and absolutely sentences (stanza) makes an impact. Also I like that the writer has used simple use of vocabulary for such a serious situation. However, while analysing the poem I realised that turning such a serious situation into a performance was straining because we had to bring all the different emotions together.When we then got into a group to start a performance, we chose music to accompany our performance. Our group chose music that had a slow pace to it, this fitted in well as our performance in a whole was quite slow. However it was very hard to find unique motions for different sections of the poem.During our performance we put a plenteousness of emphasis on particular countersignatures, at the beginning of our performance one individual said and thrown into the fire. We put emphasis on the word thrown by conjectureing it together at the same time with a strong loud voice and the person, who started the sentence alone , finishes the sentence. This made it so much powerful as it tells the audience how bad the Jewish were treated and makes the audience think. Also when shouting a powerful word out in a quiet surrounding, the audience gets shocked and feel more emotional towards the performance. When saying it we also dropped on the floor making it more effective as it was quite loud.Lawyers, rabbis, wives, teachers, mothers we gave each word to different individual and they all said it in unanimity. I was sitting in the middle as a child who had dreams, then had no bank with each character saying one word that was a public life which I could have had. After saying their career they walked off, this showed that the dream I had, has gone and I have now no hope. Saying it unity made an effect as it shows how it not only affected a group of people, but it affected every individual deeply.We also used echoes. We were taken away in the dead of night like kine in cars, no air to breathe The lights co mpletely switched off and we all came together in a circle facing outwards. When the light move back on I started saying we were taken away in the dead of night then another individual said like cattle in cars, no air to breathe. The other two individuals where quietly whispering no air to breathe creating an echo. It made the atmosphere feel tensed and spooky. We could have improved this as the lights were not switched on and off at the correct times not giving us enough time to go into our position, we should have made it clear to the person who was doing the lighting. Also as we panicked about the light we forgot few bits which we had to say together.Smothering, Crying, Starving, Dying, we all had a particular word to say and while saying it got into a position. We were all in a line in a different level. The person who said Smothering were stood higher up and the person who said dying was completely on the floor. This showed the different stages a Jewish person went through. Sa ying it in unison showed that everyone went through the same stages and ended up in the same place dying. I think this really worked well as saying it in unison and doing the movement to match the word really explained each stage that a Jewish individual had to go through.From the ashes, hear our plea we said hear our plea together as it made it more clear to the audience that ALL the Jewish children were upset and frustrated and wanted someone to comprehend to them. Our motion to this was sitting on the floor with our arms out looking upwards as if we were praying to have justice and for people to listen to us. I think we could have improved this by saying this together at the same time and improve our timings.This atrocity to mankind can not happen again we shouted out can not together to show our anger against what has happened and show that this certainly cannot happen again. I in person believe this worked well as it showed our anger because we did not shout some things out s o shouting these particular words out really meant something.At the end we all got in a line and sat down, we then each said few words from this sentence think back us/, for we were the children/ whose dreams and lives/ were stolen away. After saying our section we looked down and the lights slowly switched off. I think this was a good end because it seemed like we came back from dead to give a message to everyone and then went back.I believe that we worked well as a group and rehearsed well towards our performance. We had few errors during our performance in which one individual forgot to say something and some repetition were forgotten but these errors were not noticeable.
