My Induction Week For BTEC Performing Arts

I have enjoyed our induction week for BTEC Performing arts, I have learnt so much already and I have had alot to take in but I understand and it's all very exciting. Below is a timetable for we what have done this week-

Monday 6th September
We were introduced to the course and given our handbooks, we were told what we will be learning and doing over the two year course and were also told our expectations of the course.
We were given a piece off A4 paper that had information about what assignments we will be doing and it had a plan of when our assignments were to be given to us and when they are due in.
At the end of the lesson we then had a Q&A session where we asked any questions that we were curious about within the course.

Tuesday 7th September
On Tuesday we had a double lesson, one with Miss Hearne and one with Miss Dolan. In Miss hearne's class we learnt about costume designing and we learnt about what colours compliment eachother and then we chose what colours we wanted to use for our historical costume. We had Miss Dolan for our second part of the double lesson where we went into the computer room and set up our blog for our performing arts diary.

Wednesday 8th September
For this lesson we went into the media suite and learnt how to mix a soundtrack which I thought was so fun and I think it was quite challenging. We did an introduction for mixing soundtracks, we also learnt how to pick music for certain performances, we all got into groups of four,  I was with Shannon, Chloe and Kelly and mixing the soundtracks with them was funny and rewarding because we all knew straight away if something didn't sound right and then changed it, Kelly made me laugh because she didn't realise how loud she was speaking when she had the headphones on. I would really love it if we do this again!

This week I definitely enjoyed mixing the soundtracks the most because it was a lot of fun even though it started off being tricky, all the basic information on how to mix a soundtrack gradually became very clear. All of the performing arts things we have been doing this week has been so much fun and I have taken in and learnt so much, I'm looking forward to the rest of the course!
