Last lesson we did a thing called 'soundscaping' where everyone starts making a sound or saying a line of text to build up the atmosphere, we did this previously last term when we were looking at the riots and during  this lesson we used it to build the atmosphere of the market, in which some of the scenes are set and the childrens refugee/hostel in which some of the scenes are set.

I really like doing this as it really helps you understand what the setting of the scene is and how certain characters would react in these settings, it really helps getting into the mood of the scenes and the settings, it also helps me to understand how to build up atmosphere which i personally think is really useful.

We also did a 'Day in the life of' and in my case (and the rest of the girls in the class), it was a day in the life of Ara. We went through her typical day that may have been before or during Kojo was there. This helped me really think about her character and how she'd go through her daily life. I used elements and qualities that were already given from the script (such as her avid love for X-Men). It was really interesting to see what everyone else in the group also came up with for the characters and how everyone's was similar in some ways and different in others.
