Bus Tour
The bus tour was very informative and was nice being able to see where all the places were, Where things happened and what they drank in Shakespeare's time and how they cured things such as a sore throat and how it lead to how we now have antibiotics now.
During this tour we found out how we have sayings and where cester comes from and salary.
It was good finding more about anne hathaway and the families and what it was like in shakespeare's time than just William himself.
The tour gave alot of information which was useful But during the tour sometimes it would behin talking then cut of and start again and if you wanted there was no way to ask question i would only change it to having a lady or man stood talking to us with a microphone than having headphones.
The birthplace tour
The shakespeare's tour was full of information as well the thing i liked was actually seeing all his things and all the things he has done, we saw the hall of fame which shows all the famour actors who have played parts in his plays.
We then made our way into the pub where Shakespeare was born, The guides were informative and if you wanted to ask questions you could, There was alot of replicas and information about everything to do with William and the family which was nice to see.
At the end there was a mini play outside which showed how the men would of probably been after having 8 pints of beer a day.
The costumes all the tour guides were wearing gave the idea of what people would of wore back then and it added to the effect.
I would change it by adding more information and more time to walk around the little museum before the birth place itself so you could look at the exhibits.

The culture show :Liverpool Guerrilla Dance
Mise en scene:
for the Introduction of the programme there was a man in white dancing, infront of a shopping square in liverpool then it began to cut to the 3 dancers in bin men clothes and while it was mainly watching them it cut to the audience who were going around their daily lives and those who stopped to watch . After they finished the dance it cut to the two real bin men who were their doing their job.
After that
it cut back to the man in white dancing down a street , then to a green bus driving past a shopping center then into the actually shopping center for a few seconds it cut to a security camera veiw and snapped to a film camera veiw ... all the way through this next dance there was once again shoppers watching and the camera kept going back and forth from security camera to normal camera .At the end they walked off like nothing had happened and it cut to the man in white dancing in front of an abandoned graffitied door .
All of the other dances were the same, at the end and beginning of every one there was the man in white dancing and the dancers all in the costume that their dance type was, and also kept cutting to the audience and another camera veiw .
Sound:
during most of the clips i think most of the sound was non-diegetic because it didnt sound like the people in the streets could hear the music. The only clip that was diegetic was at the train station where you could hear the mumble of people and sound of walking like everone else who was there could hear.
Lighting:
The ligthting was mainly High key apart from where it switched to the security camera ... even though it was still a bit high key... all of the lighting was natural light there was not any lights added and it didnt look like the programme has been lightened .
Camera work :
Most of the shots were long shot whilst on the dancers and some of the audience, But there was occasionaly a few mid shots while on the audience , never really the dancers only a few times were they mid shot and close up on the dancers.
The angles were a mix of high and low to show the dancers from above and from how the audience would see it and sometimes lower.
The movement was mostly still but sometimes it began panning there wasnt much tracking maybe once.
Editing:
The cutting rate for this programme was very fast and the rythum wasnt the same throught-out, maybe only a few times for the different dances otherwise it was different.
Transitions were all a straight cut transtition, but occasionaly i saw a few fades .
The programme i watched was : http://www.bbc.co.uk/cultureshow/videos/2008/03/s4_e21_guerrilla/index.shtml

practice drama pieces
Friday 1st October , We had to go and watch an A2 performing arts group do some rehearsals .
Considering the groups were only half way through and about four of the people were off so a few of the groups had a step in it was pretty good.
There were a few people who wasn't sure on their lines so when they forgot they had to say prompt so alot of the people who had only stepped it were saying prompt and sometimes even the people who are practicing that certain piece said it .
The only let down to some of the groups were that they mumbled and weren't very clear with what they were saying, But otherwise the groups and everyone involved were very good maybe not so well organized but they still have time to work on that and their lines .
