Performance & Entertainers’ Identity A unique characteristic of the way that Singapore YouTube entertainers, hereafter YouTubers or entertainers, produce their comedy-skits is the lack of character identification. For example, Sylvia, a main cast and co-founder of Night Owl Cinematics, often appears in the skits as Sylvia but performs a persona that is not akin to her personality in real life. In other instances, the skits forgo character identification completely and rely on context clues,…

PASSWORD is an intriguing contained thriller. The script utilizes some of the techniques that make for a compelling thriller, such as a contained setting, isolation, cut off from communication, and the threat of harm or death. There’s a three-act structure. The opening sets up the idea of a home invasion. However, the opening with the police scanner is distracting and confusing. It’s unclear exactly what’s happening and it becomes diverting. Focus the opening more on Ray watching the house and…

Airline Arena. It started at 7: 30 pm. As I stood on the line impatiently waiting to enter the concert, there was a flush of enthusiasm in the air. Once I had it, I grasped my ticket nervously since it was my first experience of watching a concert performance live. After being inspected, I shuffled quickly past the large crowd thanks to the usher who aided me to locate my designated row and seat. The staffs were very helpful and friendly .How powerful the forthcoming concert was going to be was…

On Wednesday, December 2, 2015 I attended the Fresno State Jazztet, Jazz Ensemble, and Jazz Orchestra concert at eight in the evening in the Fresno State concert hall. The following will cover a review of the program as well as my point of view and reflection. I was expecting to see Christmas decorations or instruments decorated since it states on the bulletin “winter Jazz concert” but I was wrong once I saw the pamphlet. The reasons why I thought that was because the last time I attended a…

Antonio College Guitar Studio Recital took place October 20, 2014. I first arrived at the McAllister Auditorium (1300 San Pedro Ave. S.A. TX 78212) at 7 PM. It was my first time in the colleges Auditorium, but not my first time experiencing a musical performance. I have attended several times the theatre to listen to the orchestra from my hometown. It is a marvelous experience. At the entrance I could appreciate an organ, which has had an important history in classical music, especially in…

She Kills Monsters by Qui Nguyen was performed by the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film and directed by Wesley Broulik. I attended the performance on April 9th, 2016 at 7:30 pm. Overall, I really enjoyed the performance. The whole plot of the story kept me very intrigued. Normally by just reading the title I wouldn’t choose to go see this performance, but was very pleased with how it was all performed and organized. Every performer that was in this production did a very good job of…

THE HYBRID is a sci-fi thriller with a solid concept. The idea of a young child disappearing and his desperate father fearing that aliens abducted him is a very appealing premise. The concept easily hooks the audience. While there’s a lot to really like about the premise, overall the script would benefit from more development. The story begins well. The first 13 pages are engaging. There’s a solid inciting event when the young boy, Micah, goes missing. The audience is emotionally invested in…

I was initially interested in how throughout history there have been archival silences where certain events have been excluded from the archives due to the powers of the time deeming them unimportant. It is mainly female history that is unrecorded and the idea of silencing women because they are less important than men really made me think if there were times in my life where I had been silenced or told I was not allowed to do something because I was a girl. This was the idea I started to work…

The purpose of textual analysis is to describe the content, structure, and functions of the messages contained in texts. (Frey, L., Botan, C., & Kreps, G., 1999). Textual analysis of a screenplay requires observing all the elements that create meaning within the piece. Based on true events 99 Homes skilfully tells one fictional story that speaks for thousands of true ones. (Persall, 2015) It tells the story of Dennis (Andrew Garfield) an unemployed single dad that loses his house where he…

technique class, they danced with a partner while moving to the beat of the music. Whereas the rehearsal, uses the tempo of the music. When I was watching the rehearsal, I noticed that most of their dances are very grounded. Before they began their performance, they start off by either sitting or lying on the floor. On the other hand, the Latin dance class remained standing the whole time. In beginning Latin dance, the instructor demonstrates to the class the techniques used in bachata. In Latin…
