Hiya, do you think you could do a video on i love you mum i promise i won’t die, especially when it comes to how you would change the play (eg music, lighting, props) thanks!
I’d love to do more videos breaking down specific plays eventually, it’s a great suggestion thanks 👍 For the time being I’ll be working through the exam questions more broadly so the advice can be applied to any of the set texts, including I Love You Mum, I Promise I Won’t Die. But yes design elements is certainly on the list of future videos!
Hi there, I'm not sure how much you would know about the AQA exam board? If theres anything you know, I would appreciate any advice! The main problem is timings in the AQA Drama written exam.
Hi, I haven’t taught the AQA I’m afraid but just had a quick scan through one of the papers. Is it component 1? In terms of planning timings, I think the general rule of a mark a minute would still apply. From what I can see in the AQA paper, across the three sections you have a total of 80 marks and 1hour 45mins to complete? So on that principle, it would give 25mins of planning time give or take. Initially lots of the short mark questions seem to be cut from the same cloth (so to speak) so the advice I’ll give in these videos will still be relevant (particularly for knowledge on staging, acting skills, design elements etc) But obviously with a different exam board and marking structure, particularly for larger questions, I couldn’t advise on something I haven’t taught. Hopefully that’s helpful on some level!
