My 1st Movie -
Assessing Silent Movies-
1) Omar's Group-Save the princess, Save the day!
Substantial
I give Omar's group a substantial because we could barely see the faces of the actor and not a lot of over exaggeration.
2) Presha's Group- Birthday Suprise
Excellent
I give Presha's Group an excellent because they made good use of props, que cards and exaggeration was perfect. The Melodrama was incredible but a lot of camera movement.
3) Sireen's Group- Strapped on rails.
Adequate
I give Sireen's group an adequate because they took took to long to just to tie the rope and the exaggeration had limits and was not done very well. The ending was poor.
4)Hyeonho's Group- How to find your maiden
Excellent
Amazing Exaggeration, Good movement, nice decorative que cards and good use of props and fantastic melodrama.
5)My Group- Save the damn!!! Damsel
I Believe we should probably get the scores between adequate to excellent.

The four precautions of stage combat-
- Keep accurate distance so nobody will be injured.
- Eye contact should never get interrupted
- Keep one feet in and the other outside the area.
-Knapp at an accurate time.
-Never show the knapping to the audience by covering it by the opposite persons body.
My stage combat slap-
I need a lot of practice to perform a professional knapp. I could perform better by coordinating with my partner with the time count. My knapp is okay cause I am a beginner and would be better after I perform more plays. I am caution of the safety precautions and would take full measures to prevent any damage. Hyeonho produced a better knapp but as at the top he too needs coordination between the actors and an accurate time count. I will practice more skills such as punches, hair pull and many more. I have to act on my reaction time too so that people might think the slap or punch was real.
