pre-production meeting notes

Year 10- Pre-Production meeting notes

The songs we had chosen for our 15-minute set were:

·      Somewhere only we know

·       I see fire

·       Iris

We got into groups and I was with louis and bryony. This was a good group we got on well and didn’t have arguments. We got on with the work and got our songs down in a notebook and started to practise them. Then 3 weeks into rehearsals ollie and Amy joined our group. If I’m honest at first it worked but then went downhill because we all started to argue with each other. We still tried our best to practise and get on with it but we were always doing the same thing. We had 2 hours a week to do rehearsals. We needed to practise all our song to make sure everyone knew the lyrics. We need to work on the group getting stronger and working more as a team.

Year 11- pre-production meeting notes

Things weren’t working well in my previous group so we have formed a new group. They weren’t working because our group argued too much and we ended up not using our rehearsal time productively, so we thought it would be best to start fresh with a different group as we all just wanted to do the best we can in our GCSE. I believe that this new group will work a lot better because we get on with what we have to and we all know we have to work hard to get the grade and the best thing is all our group wants to get better then a pass. In my new group is Owen, Jake and Bryony. Owen will be playing the drums for our songs, Jake will be playing piano for two songs and the bass for one song and bryony and I will be singing for all the songs we will perform. My group are going to perform wonderwall by oasis it will be a hit with the older generation but also the younger generation as well, thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran this is a new song so the teenagers will like this song, no scrubs by TLC is an older song which is upbeat and will get the older audience on their feet and final Bryony and I will sing when we were young by Adele we decide to end with this song because its slower and very emotional. I want to do these new songs because I feel they will fit the brief of a concert performance in front of a mixed age audience.
