GCSE Drama tomorrow...

[-Eyeless-]

Any tips?

I get to take in two A4 sides of notes per play :D

[Eamonn]

I'm doing a drama exam tomorrow, although I'm pretty sure you're only allowed one set of notes for one play in section B? But it doesn't matter for me anyway cus I'm just doing two questions from section A, the Crucible and Twelfth Night :)

I think my exams different to yours, we are only allowed to do one question from section A or two from B and we are definately alowed two sides :)

I didn't mean one side I meant one set, cus you only do one question from section B :S or two from section A. Thats what it is with AQA anyway :)

Ohh yeahh maybe :P. What play are you doing in section A and what one did you go and see live for section B?

[Inseriousity.]

I'm taking in 2 pages of A4 too... or 1 A3 in my case. :D

Good luck... boy, Friday 13th for an exam... we need all the luck we can get :p

I did mine a few months ago, I didn't take any paper in huh? Why do you need paper?

Anyway, just seem very confident when on stage, energetic, keep in character and look like your enjoying it.

It was a written exam, I have already done both stage performances

I did Blue remembered hills for A and We saw loads, but I wrote on African Snow for B (Raped that question!)

I did AQA Drama, I did 2 Questions from Section B!

The Crucible & Billy Liar, went smooth! Hard describing some bits though :(

You have to do a theory exam for GCSE Drama? Wow, that sucks.

I did Edexcel GCSE Drama this year, and I didn't have no theory exam...

60% of the course is practically theory, 40% written exam and then you have 20% coursework and 40% acting ect..

[Mitch4?]

oh my days.
i prefer my course.
15% 7 hour drama exam on a set topic (ours was disability)
then 15% of coursework on it

then another 15% on a play (ours was lord of the flies)
then 15% on the coursework

then we had to devise a piece of drama, on ANYTHING at all, and that was worth 40%


so much fun =)

Ouch - my Edexcel course was 60% 25-minute performance, 40% coursework.

What can you write about for drama?

[-Eyeless-]

Why different things were effective in a production, what you would do if you were designing, how you would do lighting, costume acting. What was good about various different parts of a production... Quite a lot :)

[drama]

mines 40% based on two performances, and 60% on three peices of coursework/portfolios

[Virgin Mary]

Maybe they should have a GCSE for drama for people who want to be actors and a GCSE for people who want to do set design or be a playwright.

Well A level splits it up more because you can do Directing courses and acting courses, GCSE is just the foundation for gettin all the general knowledge... :)
