Melodrama comprehension

Reflection on trains terror act

They did really well with the accents and tones in their voices. The act itself was really good and I have enjoyed it. They did really well even though they were missing a partner. The way they added on to the act was really good and they worked well together. Their facial expressions were good. They could have improved by over exaggerating more and moving around not only staying in one place. Overall the act was funny and entertaining this group did really well.

Mixcraft Duck's theme

Here is my project that I worked on. It took me a lesson to finish this theme on my account. The techniques did not differ from the last theme because of the same process. This time it was the ducks's theme which I felt was the hardest out of all of them. I searched for the duck's theme then deleted the musical instrument playing of the video and recorded myself playing the theme on the piano. I learnt a new technique which was to edit the format of the music I played and change it into the right format.

I think I have done quite well again. I have noticed that I have been improving and that I can do it independently now. Omar did not want to do an extra one because he thought they were too hard. I hope you enjoyed it.

Mixcraft for Wolf's theme

Here is my project that I worked on with Omar. It took us a lesson to finish this theme on his account and mine as well. The techniques did not differ from the last theme because of the same process. This time it was the wolf's theme which I felt was easier than the peter's theme. We searched for the wolf's theme then deleted the musical instrument playing of the video and recorded myself playing the theme on the piano. We learnt a new technique which was that we can make our own movie editing and image changing.

I think I have done quite well again and also worked really effectively with my amazing partner on this. I have given effort and i hope you enjoy it as well as the others. Omar has played it differently again but with my help it was clear to him really quickly.

Mixcraft for peters theme

Here is my project that I worked on with Omar. It took us a lesson to finish this theme on his account and mine. The techniques were the same as last time but this time we had to crop most of the short film only to peter's theme. We started off by uploading the peter and the wolf story again onto mix-craft, We searched for peter's theme then deleted the musical instrument playing of the video and recorded myself playing the theme. We learnt a new technique that we can move the audio into different areas on the block.

I think I have done quite well and also worked really effectively with my partner on this. I have given effort and i hope you enjoy it. Omar has played it differently then he learnt it properly with my help.

Mixcraft for hunters theme

Here is my project that I worked on with Omar. It took us 2 lessons to figure out how to work with mix-craft and understand the way of uploading deleting and also recording. We started off by uploading the peter and the wolf story onto mix-craft, when we uploaded the mix-craft the audio came with it as well. We searched for the hunters theme then deleted the audio of the video and recorded myself playing the video.

I think I have done quite well and also worked really effectively with my partner. I have improved my piano playing and my pitch and note reading.
