Film premier

There are three groups in an academy and also there are the Poppets which is for children aged 3-5. Each group/class created their own performance to be filmed and then the poppets would have an advert filmed between each clip as they were too young to manage a bigger project like the rest of the academy.

As I work in the morning but do not assist the teacher of 'Film & TV' I had no idea what the other students from other classes were doing therefore it was a surprise when I watched the preview before the cinema screening. As I am a student in the afternoon academy I got to take part in the film project. My group's idea was that we would take little parts from romantic/comedy movies such as '500 days of summer', '10 things I hate about you', 'Juno' and we also did two music videos. There was the music video for the boys and they did 'every little thing' and made it really funny! The other music video was then choreographed by me and Lisa, I was the lead role in the video and it was to 'Dancing on my own' by Robyn and it took all afternoon to film both videos which was really cool to do voice overs and see the high tech equipment.

There is a morning academy and an afternoon academy and our films were shown in separate screens at the cinema. We had the cinema to ourselves at 10 in the morning and we were welcomed by a photographer and red carpet which was really cute, fun and exciting. After we watched the film we went into town for lunch at pizza express and then headed back to Bovingdon primary school where we were going for an award ceremony. The night before the cinema screening, me, my mum, and the principle and vice principle set up the hall for the ceremony. We set out a load of decorations from the party shop and placed the fake Oscars on the table. We made this look really nice by turning off the lights and just keeping on the spotlights which was bright enough but looked really classy. We had a number of awards for each group, the main ones being, best actor, best actress, best supporting actor, best supporting actress and as my group did music videos there was an award for best performance in a music video and I won which I was extremely happy about. Everyone clearly thoroughly enjoyed the whole day and it was a really great experience.

This picture shows my award and the paper that was read out to announce the winner of the award.

Above are two links to the videos of our performances at Watford Palace Theatre.
On 12th June me and 15 other performers went to Watford palace theatre to perform at an event called platform one. This event is for other schools or dance crews/schools and they perform at this event to show off talent and a performance.

This year there were a variety or different acts. There were some really good street dance/break dance routines and there were drama sequences that were mixed with break dance routines which was very entertaining. There was only a few that I didn't enjoy but that was only because the theme was boring and not very entertaining.

Our performance was based on witchcraft but was a cut down version of our rock challenge so we already had the costumes and the feel of what the story that we were performing was about.

Above is a photo of us in the rehearsal room on the day at watford palace theatre.

Rock Challenge

After over 6 months of hard work Kings Langley School have finally finished 2011 Rock challenge with a huge success!

Our theme was based on missing children in the UK and how for every 10 children that go missing, only 1 manages to escape. With a lot of hard work from last year's rock challenge, we have become Premier League for the first time! This meant that we showcased in Stevenage in February instead of competing in it to be able to get into the second round which is in Portsmouth. As we are premier league we had already got to the second round but as a premier team which is what we have always wanted!

Performing in front of everyone and the judges on Saturday 4th June had to be the best part of the day! The atmosphere was incredible and Kings Langley really did put a lot of energy and effort into our performance. The judges seemed very impressed and the audience were amazing! We were very happy that our school team did so well as we came 4th which is amazing considering this was our first year as a premier team!
