Review Drama contest by Emma

To student of Mass Communication Department, this is a special experience.

The English Department held the drama contest with Mass Communication Department.
After a series of perform, "Alfie" of English Department and "Who is watching Fu Man-chu" of Mass communication were the biggest winner. They win many awads,like the best script, the best actor etc.

The drama contest with Enghish Department, I think, our classmates also learn the different experience. Before drama competing, our classmates never drama perform experience. This
performance chance of everyone’s equal value. Everyone use the time after school to practice constantly. I feel, everybody is very hard and earnest,including the actor or backstage persoonnel.In this day, everyone expresses very well. I think, whatever the result, I believe, evertbody leaves the deep recollection.

The Mass Communication Department performed three dramas totally. The first drama is "Butterfly Love". They performed is very well.especial the stage design like actors postion or light. Butterfly Love describes one inside country ancient spread to tell a story "Liang-Zhu". It is tragic story originally. But the drama presents by comedy. It makes me feeling different. Although the drama did not get many awards,maybe the foreign professor have never heard about the ancient story. But "Butterfly Love" is my favorite one in the whole dramas.

The drama "Alfie" for English Department. The plan of the story is Alfie is a playboy and fools aound all time. He has high taste for everything, he has high taste for everying, he always get whatever women he wants. But his best friend for everything is not so. Hoe could he help his friend? Even himself, too. I feel this drama whatever the actor, manuscript, light is very good.
Particulary the manuscript, I feel the manuscript writes very creativity.

In the drama, the different is the English Department with fluently Enhlish stage dialogue.for theMass Communication Department, they have aboundant body action. I feel, this drama perform, everyone have the result.

The day is an important day for English and Mass communication. There is an English drama contest on 7th May. That is the first time for Mass communication. At beginning, English just a couse in our school. Teacher hope we have different ways to learn English, ask everyone join this suggestion. Some one has different difficult, choice non-drama. Sometimes I feel regrettable very much.

Although we don't have show that day, we can spectate drama contest. After the contest, I have deep impress for them, I feel every one is wonderful. English department and Mass communiation has unlike style. English department emphasize pronounce, they don't care light bright or not. They don't attention where actor should go or not. They emphasize pronounce and story. Their let me feel some boring. Untile the "Alfie", that is my favorite drama in English department. Actor and Actress have great action, story is humorous. Generally speaking, "Alfie" let me feel like watch legitimate.

The department of Mass communication, our style is cheery, passion and agreeable. In my opinion, the favorite drama in Mass communication is "Butterfly". It is adapt to a Chinese story, a famous love story. They combine Chinese and foreign, offer audience fresh play. "Butterfly" use music and dance let their paly more interesting. The special of "Butterfly" is their rap. To sum up, "Butterfly" have more suprise action. If want me take a score, I give they full marks.

The big winner in this Engilish drama contest is " Who is watching Fu Man-chu". The speech is more then another drama, in apart of contume also more attention then another. The story is more organized then others. Beside this, they also have dancing apart in the play."Who is watching Fu Man-chu" attain juror's love, have great score, become big winner in this drama contest.

I think the English drama contest is a special experience to everyone, during this play, I find the passion in our mass communication. "Contest" is not important, "Experience" is more treasure.

A special drama experience

This is first time our mass communication department and English department are cooperating to hold the English play contest. I never have look English play experience. So it also a novel experience for me. I felt our class and English department plays are both well. Although my English is not learning well and I couldn’t understand many play’s dialogue mean, I also found our department and English department have some characteristics on play. Our department has more dance elements. Besides the play has more east color and even combine with our mass communication characteristic in plot. Furthermore, their stage performance usually control on stage center. The three play’s stage properties were making well. About English department, I felt their play not have more originality perform and to follow rules. Besides the majority play plot were use the stage wings to perform. Furthermore, their plays to lay particular stress on modern or west color plot.

First about the butterfly love play, I felt their play very interesting. For example, they combine sing with dance in play. They even sing the rap in play. I felt they make the play have more cadences. Besides their stage property also made exquisite such as a sedan chair. But their plot of a play I felt not very perfect. It not showed the essence of the story.

Second about who is watching Fu Manchu play, I felt their stage actor very plunge into this play. Besides their play also has more dance and their dance was uniform. Moreover I felt their plot has more completeness and definite focus than other two plays. So I think it made them has more chances to gain many prizes.

Third about Shooting Paparazzi play, I think their play was the most originality drama. They used many mass communication originalities in plot, such as stalkerazzi, SNG news…etc. Although their plot combine with many famous hot news, it too much and made their play to felt piecemeal. So I felt a little pity.

Final about the English department’s play Alfie, I felt their perform were facile and stage actor also plunge into this play. Besides, their blocking also use well. Furthermore, their stage actors even do the interaction with viewers. I felt it make the play more interesting.

Review with English and Mass Communication drama contest
by Chris

There is a big impress for me in the first time English and Mass Communication departments’ drama play contest at 7th May. The contest lets two departments have chances to communicate and find out where the weakness is.

The opening play “Scuba Lessons” was impressed me with the brilliant main actress. Even this play has copy some methods of expression from the famous TV drama “Sex in the city”, but the pronunciations and natural presence with the main actress was excellent. This opening play gives me some reflections. Those English department students are only the freshmen; they just take one year education in college with English training. But the ability with talking and listening English are already an obvious distance in each department.

“Butterfly Love” is my favorite one in this whole contest. They use the stage very well. The actors are also having excellent performance. Maybe the foreign professors have never heard about the original story of “Liang-Zhu”, so they can’t have the same response like us.

There is a big winner in English department, the “Alfie”. Before watch this play, there are two movies talking about “Alfie” I had watched. One is Wang Kar-wai’s “Days of Being Wild”; another is “Alfie” act by Jude Law. So I can predict what’s they want to presence. The main actor has an excellent performance, and they also represent the “playboy temperament” very successful. I believe they effected with the movie “Alfie” very much. Alfie is a playboy, he mix with those beauties around. But now he has a big problem with one of his girl friends. She is a lesbian and she want to separate with Alfie because she got a younger, nice body girlfriend. This story set up is very like the movie. But maybe they are inspired with the movie “Alfie”, but the main actor plays very good and gave the play a new spirit.

Another big winner “Who is watching Fu Man-chu” is also give me a new thought with the story of late Ching Dynasty. “Who is watching Fu Man-Chu” has a very good structure with story background. But I think maybe they can do much work with the mental side with Fu Man-Chu. Why he want to revenge? What’s the turning point with his decide? If they can spend much time to explain this part, it will make the whole play better.

The problems with “Who is watching Fu Man-chu” are also the same problems in our department’s groups. Because the pool English ability, we can’t put too much attentions on the story. Even we already done so much on our advantages part and done very well. But in the point of view with the students of English department, it maybe just a contest with another field. Each department just play their own drama mode and for each own purpose. Those will not a good result.
