hello my name is ashley and this is my logbook for project 3 Screen Yorkshire we have been tasked to recreate a scene from Peaky Blinders a British TV show set after World War One the show details a group of people called the Peaky Blinders It is a crime drama set in England
the 2 videos above are what we did last week so we started this last week and continued today and it is going well so far we have a basic scene we had our characters sorted last week we got our scripts
research on screen Yorkshire
who is screen Yorkshire
screen Yorkshire is a British film company that filmed Gentleman Jack and other films in the Bradford/west Yorkshire area in England are one of the Bradford College sponsors for the performing arts course they come in and do 2 workshops
what do they do
like I have just said screen Yorkshire Go and scout locations for films and TV shows like Gentleman Jack they come to Bradford college to do workshops
why is this relevant
this is relevant due to it being in Leeds not far from Bradford it has been running since 2002 screen Yorkshire has worked on so many TV shows like All Creatures Great and Small, Peaky Blinders
context research
Peaky Blinders was set from 1919 to 1930 after World War 1 the main setting is Birmingham then it moves to London my character I’m playing Danny wizz bang suffers from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder he and Tommy were in the war the end of the first series they faked his death and he moved to London and quit the show
so this morning we were looking at accents and how we can develop them for our piece I tried to do an Irish accent but looking back on today I think we are developing accents for the final piece that we will record later on in January
so today we were doing warmups for our vocals so we could do these accents so then we can develop them for our pieces from the TV show I am doing peaky blinders so I need to do a Birmingham accent because it is set in the city in England the term is called bruit
the question I asked was is peaky blinders are based on real events and this is what I found
the photos from today are my peer observation, all the acting techniques and the aims and objectives from today
Last week’s session with Screen Yorkshire

with one week till we film our pieces I think that it will go well
reflections on the week
these past weeks have been building up to this moment where we film it and it will go well there will be some mess-ups we will get through it and ace the project and hopefully get a good grade for this unit I am hoping to do well on this project
so today we went through PowerPoint and we played a game where there was an imaginary bomb and we had to through it across the room and when the countdown got to one whoever had the bomb was out of the game then after that we did a tutorial where we went through 3 powerpoints which were to do with bullying mental health and the first was to do with extremism and terrorism and radicalisation
well the filming is done, so yesterday we filmed our assessments overall the process went well
the photo above is my makeup for my piece I had to get a beard we were doing the scene from the first episode of the show Peakly Blnders where the characters Tommy, Freddy, Harry and Danny are in this scene overall the whole process went well the timing was better than it has been for a while cant wait for project 4+5
