Week 2:
Drama Lecture - 15/3/13
In today’s lecture, we covered a range of topics, which included focusing on a critical moment in fairytales, historical and contemporary depictions of fairytale characters in print and film media, exploring narrative structure, character relationships and status on role. One experience I focused on was on ‘to make a good story we need’... this incorporated linear narrative (going forward), tension, characters, settings, coda, and story structure. This lead to my experience through critically reflecting on fairytales by focusing on what happens to the characters after the story. This highly links to Media Arts when looking at the seven parts to a story/film. Overall, from this experience the implications I take aboard for my future teaching is I would provide the structure of the story to the students as from what I learnt today it would empower the students to look upon the story. I would teach the students on how to communicate with the story, know how to construct and deconstruct a story, which leads to further discussion when making connections with the story and making meaning for an audience.
