How do you feel this project went?
I feel like this project has gone really well, its helped me with confidence and my writing skills.
What skills do you feel that you have developed through this project?
I fee like it has helped develop my Confidence, not just performing but within writing and creating my own stories.
What were your key strengths in project 1?
I think my biggest strength was my ability to create a whole story with just a small bit of information, it helped me tap into my imagination.
What were the weaknesses in project 1?
My biggest weakness was definitely focus, i found it hard to concentrate on just one thing for a long period of time.
How effectively did you manage the rehearsal process?
I believe we should have worked on time management more as a lot of things were rushed.
Can you discuss any key research sources which have supported your process?
We managed to find the case file for an old case of john jackson which helped us tap into characters and get into roles and understand it more.
How effectively did you apply the research?
the research i used helped me get into character and into the role and mindset of someone from 19th century.
What have you learnt from this project which you will take forward on to the next step of your own personal development?
i have learned that with even just the smallest bit of information, i can do anything with it.
What have you learnt about the topic of monologue writing?
I have learned that its a lot harder than what it seems and it takes alot of thought and time.
What can you do now that you couldn’t do when you started the course?
i can write a monologue
Why is learning this important?
this is important as in auditions they could ask u to perform a monologue and you will have to have one prepared and they could ask you to do an own written one.
If you were to do the project again what would you do differently?
i would work on timing more, if i had more time i believe i could have done a lot more with the project.
How will you effectively apply this within your next project?
i will make sure i organise my time well so i know everything will be perfect
Did you enjoy the process?
I enjoyed most of the process however certain areas stressed me out because it was rushed.
Did you enjoy the Police Museum Experience?
I did enjoy the police museum experience, it felt better to perform in a more public space rather than in the same room as always

Evaluation
Overall, i believe the whole process went really well, we manage to work as a team and think of things quickly. This project helped me broaden my mindset and tap into my imagination to help create a storyline. One thing that was quite stressful would be time management. We struggled to get a lot of things done due to not having enough time, and the things we did manage to do didn’t get done due to rushing.
