Production Skills and Context
Context
During my lesson we have doing a lot of researching about Romeo and Juliet. As whole class we will be going on a trip very soon to Royal Opera house. And in Anna lesson we had to design a costumes for different characters in Romeo and Juliet play.
Also we had take pictures of what we done in Anna lesson for the Romeo and Juliet Theme is an African design costumes which wanted to do for the Royal Opera House challenge. Last week Tuesday we had to make a 3D box for the main stage. Therefore the equipment we used was pencil, A rule and a utility knifes is where we had to cut the surface of the carton box.
On a Thursday Lesson we were talking about the royal opera house challenge it was romeo and Juliet it was different piece of work I am working towards a set design piece. And then we watched stuff on YouTube in Mandy's lesson. We watched and listened to a dance musical in between the film can't remember the name of the film but I will ask Mandy the following week on a lesson Thursday about it. During the lesson Mandy she was about talking how Romeo and Juliet dancing is like to be in different scene of how they both bond between each other love story. But both of the family's Montague's and Capulet's don't get along with each other all they do is the argue and ever ending war zone.
Afterwards she decide that we should know about Romeo and Juliet costumes. Is going to be like when they are both dancing together as beautiful loving couple they both look exciting and happy together. There always tragic moment for Romeo and Juliet seems that the both died which Montague's and Capulet's were sad, stock to found out that the two lovers were always sharing a good times when they were both live in Italy which in Verona.
Research
Anna showed me a PowerPoint presentation in the workshop lesson how to brainstorm your own ideas for the Romeo and Juliet for the set design theme of it. But Anna told me to research a lot about Romeo and Juliet scene where it took place ?. What type of difference they share together as young beautiful couple.
But I realised that there was one time to create the set design during Tuesday lesson. and even ready to make something. and also had to use a box it was for my final set-design piece. as production arts team went to covent garden the place was called the Royal Opera house ballet it was Romeo and Juliet performance all characters were never talking from the beginning till ending in between there was taking a break and what i notice was that The Royal opera house stage looked amazing because didn't really liked the costume design it was so plain for me the people from backstage would of done bit better with there props it was not exciting enough. but what stocked me is that when all the characters left the stage and set was moving different areas in the stage. which i enjoyed it but if i knew got those ideas and put it on my set-design because I didn't really know how to place my design.
Through out the performance I enjoyed the ballet because it was the happiness thing that Romeo and Juliet did together both of them brought back peace and harmony for both families that never got along with each other. and now you understand the story of Romeo and Juliet goes also author that wrote his name was William Shakespeare he created unique love story background for all the audience that enjoy watching the film or in Opera House Ballet, even Shakespeare globe theatre too.
In my Teacher lesson we also planned the Christmas carol door with her and she also told me and Vadim go to old spitalfields market Therefore to take pictures around the place. my teacher also was drawing the design for door what would it look like. but i didn't get time to go the place because i had focus more front of house for Christmas carol performance and The Royal Opera House challenge. and then plan was to find architecture different design models of my set-design it self even by comparing new and old set buildings. there was so many things on the internet search names where tribal African lounge chair, Late 19th century African studded chair , origami pavilion, menages and kinppers other one based in South Africa Daniel libeskind house Connecticut. I understand that so amazing things where very good for me to learn how draw on my set-design i learn a lot of things that I couldn't do for me always watched videos on YouTube or in a different website. to know the important of set-design the way model is very structured properly and therefore I took pictures on my phone during my workshop lesson which on a Tuesdays I will always write things on the paper or art book to have proof what i did during my workshop lesson therefore i could say what can improve by using different types of textures, wood, or paints too.
In the workshop lesson my teacher had to do a mood board for the rest of the production class group. Because in September we had to all enter the Royal opera house challenge therefore this was the Romeo and Juliet ballet theme. For it example most of my classmates are doing costumes, set-design and hair-make up. My teacher told all of us in the classroom we should do a min presentation about what we choose to do. My one was Set Design for the Romeo and Juliet the vision is four then I took time plan all my ideas by researching on going to the Royal Opera house trip and watching Romeo and Juliet ballet/movies even drawing set how is going to be like.
But I put so much effort in my Set Design myself i am not best artist to do drawing things also I watch a video In the Royal Opera House this women said she has done a Set- Design piece also she goes "I am not a professional designer anyone could become a designer for any can of set for it example theatres or concerts too. That is why enjoy the watching the video it inspire me a lot .
Yesterday I was in the workshop to start my set-design and therefore my teacher who has help me out to plan and research some equipment's to how to design the place where Romeo and Juliet first met together. Myself i had to use the laptop to find out on the internet about different African elements prints. And which i will be printing on my set-design there i use my art book also to print out the African design to stick on the book and therefore it took so long for me to produce a special set design that I created with my own ideas that got in the google search engines. And then wrote everything on my art book which I was using the workshop laptop going on website called African material fabrics by knowing different types of designs were all made in North Africa East it has produce excellent techniques.
each section of the set design box I had use the glue to stick other parts in . and did my set design in the workshop also it took time for me to measure each one of them. and the equipment that use for my set design was called Pva glue primer. also the workshop technician helped me to stick the box together she told me to get the slip tape. we both decide that make sure most of them are on the right place. i had to finish off on Monday evening when college lesson was over and didn't really wanted to leave the set design like that because won't be good enough for the Royal opera house challenge judges to see a plan design. I didn't rush to make the set — design also is not easy by planning the scene also use a notebook to write things down of what equipment do i need for my set -design to made in. on Wednesday before the half term started didn't get time to finish off my crypt therefore my tutor told me it was last day to send off Royal opera house challenge judges to check on set design, hair and make up and final thing was costume four production arts team decide different elements on Romeo and Juliet during the our lesson watched the ballet of Romeo and Juliet on YouTube. and looked amazing to see how romance began between to love ones. my tutor had to do voice record of me explain how done my research? and then why did choose to research African elements it was to do with king and queen is similar to Romeo and Juliet which is based in Verona with a Romantic twist through out story how they first met in the Capulet party scene. but there is both sides of the families don't get along with each other is Romeo's family called Montague and Juliet 's Capulet family were auguring all time because they didn't want Romeo and Juliet together the love between young couple had a excellent bond by get along without both families knowing what there was doing in close doors. tragic endings have a sad moments Romeo and Juliet relationship had powerful love there is that Juliet was drinking poison. but Romeo didn't know what was happening with Juliet but what he wanted was to die next same bed where Juliet sleeps.
Afterwards both of families Montague and capulets where stocked who their son and daughter tragic death and then Romeo and Juliet said to them please "stop fighting each" I will never experience these two families having a huge fight together it called a war zone.and whereas if you watch the Romeo and Juliet film you will understand that it could be upsetting to watch when Romeo's best friend die therefore you could realise how the hatred between both sides of the family wasn't talking with each.
This is African king and Queen which is similar to Romeo and Juliet

(This print is yellow and brown)
On Tuesday I was in the workshop because myself i had to plan out what colours of printings should i use in the set-design. and colours of my the printings will be using is yellow occur, red ink print, black mixed with white.
the way i printed it looked amazing to try out new colours of printings. equipment that used is water and sponge the reason why use it is because i had use print by tapping each surface of it. and then it was quicker to those equipment and it was much easier to use but both of my hands were covered in different colours of print and I enjoyed it because now know in the workshop I can use these special printing. is always good to learn something new everyday not just using all the time print brushes it can be annoying and but what decide to do is take all the pictures on my phone then I upload it put on my blogs.
Evaluation
In the Royal Opera House Challenge I worked so hard to produce a wonderful set -design and which took time for me to understand how to build a natural modern set for Romeo and Juliet scene. Myself I needed to know how wanted to make the set - design also even the way it was structured through the vision that i chosen was four. where Romeo and Juliet first meet in the Capulet party scene what happens is that I started to my research on different set- design on the google search engines therefore discovered so many different objects and shapes, also sizes which I compare my set- design to one that found on the internet it was a YouTube clip on how a company that works at the workshop they have done similar piece which was run by theatre called stratford Shakespeare festival. and I realise had to do a brainstorm about Romeo's family and Juliet's family two sides of the families which they didn't get along with each other what i decide to do was writing things down on a plain paper. and i came up with a lot of ideas about how my design will be like? what type of materials that i wanted ? also i need to measure two parts of the woods which was area and length of it. my mind was focusing more of make the Set- design that what I wanted to do but my plan was so much different to my classmates therefore two people were doing costumes and one person did hair and make-up.
And also had to research about African designers painting which is in my Set- design. and it was on a Tuesday the whole production arts class and our workshop teacher told us that we are going to the Royal opera house trip. to go and look at the behind scene so as whole class we got the bus to covent gardens. when we arrived their at the Royal opera house we had to look at stage, also set- design on how is made.
afterwards I did my own research about so many set- designers which as Es Devin, Bunny Christie, and Christopher Oram. I inspire these four wonderful set- designers on there work.
For next time would of finish off my set-design because could of done a bit more bit with my sign of cross also the way I printed African print I rushed it to much therefore would of done it very clearly. so the Royal opera house Judges could of understand my set properly. my whole thing was that the rest of the set-design didn't close also that what i wanted to like and then i can open last.

The Performance Skills and context
Context
The curious Incident play was working with National theatre. it is based in west end also Christopher Boone. Which also his parents where having a difficult time not being together anymore. His mum moved to London and Christopher John Francis Boone who is fifteen year old boy with serious condition an autism spectrum therefore he currently lives with his father. Christopher discovers the dead body of the neighbour's dog wellington speared by a garden fork. But I realised that Christopher never had any friends around him because he was very intelligent with his science and maths calculations.
And his A level teacher said he was never going to re sit his maths exams it took time for him to revise and also to found out who killed his dog Wellington. But as production arts class students we went to trip see the play and myself most thing enjoy was technical stuff work the were they are together in the curious incident performance after characters had to take a break during the play all I saw twenty stage managers were on the stage cleaning the chalk pencil also by removing everything on the floor. And then when the all characters came back from stage Christopher had to look for his mum still but what he decide to do was he went to his local station area which was called network rail. and Christopher got into the train but there was too many people inside the Station but the transport officer police that work for the network rail tried to get Christopher because his dad had to look for him. afterwards the train started to move and then transport officer police blames on Christopher from leaving his home town. but when Christopher arrived to London he didn't know where he was going first but he asked someone that works in the train station how to get into harrow road. All Christopher had to was to walk to transport for London which he can see the London underground map and then afterwards he had to go from platform two . Also Christopher realise that his mum must have understand that Christopher really wants to see him in person. But things started to change when he came to London he didn't know where was he going to go at first because Central London is the biggest area to find his mum in where does she live at moment. Therefore Christopher always had his mum letters to know what borough she lives in and when Christopher saw his mum and him got both very emotional because they haven't see each other in ages if noticed that the mum's boyfriend was acting very weird towards Christopher he couldn't say hello to him properly as if he got scared. When I watched curious incidents of the dog in night time in theatre I knew that when Christopher was trying to sleep in a spare room where his mum was not always around with him that much therefore we know Christopher couldn't sleep properly heard noises from the house he said "who was that"? Then mum's boyfriend from the house drinking beer towards Christopher face also he was being drunk and he shouted that the man he goes to him I don't you Christopher goes to him I will call my dad I want to go back home . And then mum and dad where saying to him are you okay but he was panicing quite a lot and finale ending of the play both of his parents had to give him a present it was a dog that's all he wanted to have since the other dog past away.
Costume all the clothes that all of characters were wearing was normal out-fit to dress up during the curious Incident performance which the director had an excellent vision towards this wonderful exciting
Lighting technical work during the curious incident play had produce an excellent lighting effects when all the characters were on the stage. Which made the scene look perfect in between all the shows that is taken place there you can look at how much image it has been produced throughout each section that has been changed even the way lighting designers made more look different .
Sound Effects During the performance sound effects they were using was seaside, Police station, football crowed, network rail Station, London Underground, His mum was taking in the background actual play even the audience enjoyed by Christopher experience on how spoke about his maths experience by during the ending question sound it looked good to understand how the sound designers worked with all the characters in the behind scene
Christopher was dream all he can hear was everyone was saying his name.
The Theatre Lighting equipment effects all from different backgrounds who are acting on the stage. And therefore when there were doing performance in Shakespeare's globe theatre they only use candles during all the that took place in Shakespeare's globe performances.
Staging-in the Shakespeare's globe theatre was were all actors are acting on the staging it was just wood. It show he or she area of staging there will be standing .
Sound during the tutor times Elizabethan music created by a person called Augustine Phillips which he had to produce excellent music in all the performances that were taking place in Shakespeare's globe.
Last week Tuesday and Thursday I was doing sound for two performances I worked with a person that does Ual performances arts level 3 year one but he was doing lighting we both worked together as a team. Myself I have improved using the Q lab on Mac book air laptop. and at first I didn't know how to use it. When I first started the course September. During my spare time I kept watching YouTube tutorial clip about how to use the Q Lab and it quiet confusing at first because there are so many instructions during when you are following that process.
How were these overcome use Macbeth?
William Shakespeare's has written an excited story of Macbeth which he had took his time and also by understanding what was going on during each of the scene from beginning till ending. which made the him realise how he structured form of the play script when you watched the performance it involved with main characters king and banquet even the three witches they always wanted to kill the king but didn't work out because they were using magic spells. Which it also changed the everything completed in by hearing voices?
Research and compare two different productions of Macbeth production design , costume/ setting , lights/ - I looked at so many theatres on the internet which I had to research a place called Shakespeare globe theatre most of their costumes that the characters were wearing is the Elizabethan clothes is made more look amazing from them stand out on the stage to perform. And costumes designers even the set production have worked hard by making sure that all the costumes fits Male and female characters therefore i needed to check the music also sound effects downloading it and putting on the Q lab system.
Research
During my research I looked at the music from YouTube therefore i discovered from the students what type of sound effects they want for there performance. and the sound that chosen was sound of a bird effects , Apparition Macbeth one , two and three - it was a voice over of the students acting out. in the first rehearsal on Monday during the afternoon I had to looked at Ual performance arts acting level 3 year one and the teacher gave me the play script to see what music is happening from beginning till ending, music that we had was war drums, ceremonial music for banquet scene. Most of the rehearsal that I intended was the black team and pink team it took place in rehearsal room and theatre. On Friday helped out my classmate in theatre for blue team rehearsal I had to look after the sound desk it is called Allen and health Digital mixing console twenty — four and blue team rehearsal wasn't best one because didn't really understand what was going on in theatre. I was very disappointed how the blue team group were not paying destinations on the Macbeth play script during their rehearsal most of them forgot there lines. me i was just on backstage with my classmate he did the lighting for their rehearsal but the blue team rushed because most of them said they had things to do but we wasted our time setting up the sound desk and lighting desk for them which was not the right thing to do. but for me I wasn't their for blue team performances which took place on Monday I was doing my work experience on that day the place was called white light it was in south Wimbledon I my passion is to become live sound engineer so I can develop in theatre or outside the college. and on Tuesday I came to the college and also when entered theatre my tutor spoke to me about how did my work experience in white light went I said it was a excellent place to be in also they had the biggest lighting department and audio and video sound area department too. then started to use the sound desk for the Macbeth performance the team that was working with on Tuesday was black team therefore didn't really work by myself I worked with a boy that does a course called Ual performance arts acting level 3 year one he was doing lighting for his classmate because during Wednesday lesson we have class called on Technical Theatre sound and lighting level 3 Betc certificate. and then the teacher gave me the Macbeth play script for to mark where the music is going to start form the beginning till ending of play the music and sound effects that the drama teacher chosen is Celtic Battle music drum, trumpet, and Thunder clap twice, The London fanfare, - sound effects Bird song sound, ceremonial music afterwards Apartion one , Apartion two and Apartion three. there was a scene where two boys where fighting it was called drums of war sound of a fighting scene we had background music for it and sounded amazing. on the Thursday Morning i had to pink group team performance on i was doing sound therefore I knew what do on that day. Also as Sound engineer main things was making sure the sound mixer is fixed properly and there no fault technical issues in the sound mixer was called Allen and Health Sound desk is one of best to use a for all the Technical sound technician that like to use in for there theatres, live gigs, and pubs.
Evaluation
I Understand how as a production arts group we had to work so hard with a Ual performance arts acting level 3 year one. during those times I was always watching three main rehearsal was the Blue team, and black also pink team. all I needed to do is just kept researching about the Elizabethan music therefore i looked how it all began in the tutor times. what types of musical of instruments they were playing it was called trumpets, flutes, Trombones, clarion , crumhorn, shawm and fife. that how they created music. I most of us in the production team had to be spit up into groups so myself and my classmate were doing technical equipment on Tuesday and Thursday I was doing the sound for two performances and my classmate also did the lighting. for me the Macbeth play script was very easy to fellow it through the all performance and mark were the sound and effects go on those play script . and then when i was using the sound desk I felt much more confident using the equipment by myself because all time most of my classmates just kept using the sound desk which was not good therefore didn't really know how to use the mixer properly. and i had to help them out using the fader by telling them intensity of the volume in mixer it could sound like high or low therefore I always use the gain staging by checking sound system if the mixer is not on correct position. for me the group that I preferred working with was the black team and pink team they were very organised with what they were doing as but both groups they didn't claim with technical team they told us what sound effect they wanted for there performances. then I use the Mac book laptop also to discover what music that the students want? But the drama teacher work hard with all the groups that were acting during days.
I was very proud of myself with using the Sound desk equipment which is called Allen and Health in the college theatre. Improve so much getting a lot of advice from my tutor when I had a one to one with her she told me I need to use more of the sound desk system also she didn't want my classmates not use the sound desk that much. But now my tutor she was shocked how I use sound desk for the Macbeth performances she never expected to happened on Tuesday and Thursday. myself I had to sound for two shows.
Last week Wednesday it was the Dancing Musical theatre show they
Had to perform a play it was called the Little shop of Horrors Musical. Myself and the production team what we did was also worked together but I was helping out a person from my class she was doing sound but. It went well because one of the dancing Musical teacher showed us a video on YouTube during Thursday's lesson in the afternoon to talk about how should we set up the play theatre but as a class we did a meeting together with the teacher she gave us a worksheet to do for homework it was to find a horror movies from the 1962. Or 80s myself I looked at the internet search engines where I found so many horror movies online but me I am not a fan of a horror movie at all. And I came a bit late for the rehearsal theatre because I had something to do outside the college. And also through out the each rehearsal the music that chosen was the little shop of Horrors musical song, and last song is Addams family were the Ual performing actors level 3 year two. I enjoyed the Dancing musical theatre performance of the little shop of Horrors Musical because I never expected them to do a excellent American accent through out the all show it was the best one has a production arts group we put a amazing job together as team. And the dancing musical theatre teacher told us to download a music cover of the little shop of Horrors Musical on YouTube Therefore the website that we download the music was called Mp3 YouTube converter and one song that really long the student had to sing a cover of little shop of Horrors Musical she said it was too much for her to sing the whole music. But if i knew would told one of my classmate that was doing sound for the performance all she needed to do was go into Q Lab there is section is a setting called time and loop and it means how you can cut through the song each way you figure it out myself on how Q lab works on by writing down on YouTube that only best why to do. and the Dancing Musical theatre teacher said it was too late cut the musical instrumental down but as a technical team you need to have discussion with teacher that is presenting the performances to college students and friends and families. how long is music will run be on and even the time of it also you can't put the music for that long because you need to make sure that student needs to take a break making sure that she takes water in between rehearsal so vocal cords don't break. and the song was grow for me By little shop of Horrors musical piece. and then when actual show started which for the evening during families and friends come to see the performance everything on stage was well done even including with props, costume, lighting sound went well.
Evaluation
On the little shop of Horrors Musical I didn't use the sound desk it was my classmate i was there just to help out with any technical difficulties as a sound engineer I had to check if the fader was working properly and the also I enjoyed watching the performance it was good at the dancing Musical theatre knew all there lines very well from without no play script. and if you look at the four pictures you can see that was the matinee performances. and also all the props for this show was excellent the way wanted the stage to be.
During on the Thursday lesson we had dancing musical theatre teacher spoke about how she wanted the clothes to be like during the day of performance and then I realise lighting , sound effect with the play how the whole class wanted it to be.
I on my notebook wrote everything because it was just me my classmate and talk to teacher to have a min production arts team focus more on the performances took place on a Wednesday afternoon and Evening.
My tutor wanted me stay for the evening performance therefore she thought i was going to do sound for play which is called The little shop of Horrors Musical but didn't do it because my classmate wanted to sound. I know that next time will be doing sound for dancing musical theatre performance I remember will write down notebook or calendar making will be using the sound desk equipment. it will be the greatest opportunity for myself expand my hopes and future ambition. by attending more production arts meeting with the drama teachers and Dancing Musical Theatre, it would be excellent thing because I can gave rest the classes some ideas of what there want for props, set , Hair and make up , sound and lighting to be like during all the shows that takes place in the theatre.
During my lesson we have doing a lot of researching about Romeo and Juliet. As whole class we will be going on a trip very soon to Royal Opera house. And in Anna lesson we had to design a costumes for different characters in Romeo and Juliet play.Also we had take pictures of what we done in Anna lesson for the Romeo and Juliet Theme is an African design costumes which wanted to do for the Royal Opera House challenge. Last week Tuesday we had to make a 3D box for the main stage. Therefore the equipment we used was pencil, A rule and a utility knifes is where we had to cut the surface of the carton box.
On a Thursday Lesson we were talking about the royal opera house challenge it was romeo and Juliet it was different piece of work I am working towards a set design piece. And then we watched stuff on YouTube in Mandy's lesson. We watched and listened to a dance musical in between the film can't remember the name of the film but I will ask Mandy the following week on a lesson Thursday about it. During the lesson Mandy she was about talking how Romeo and Juliet dancing is like to be in different scene of how they both bond between each other love story. But both of the family's Montague's and Capulet's don't get along with each other all they do is the argue and ever ending war zone.
Afterwards she decide that we should know about Romeo and Juliet costumes. Is going to be like when they are both dancing together as beautiful loving couple they both look exciting and happy together. There always tragic moment for Romeo and Juliet seems that the both died which Montague's and Capulet's were sad, stock to found out that the two lovers were always sharing a good times when they were both live in Italy which in Verona.

the way i printed it looked amazing to try out new colours of printings. equipment that used is water and sponge the reason why use it is because i had use print by tapping each surface of it. and then it was quicker to those equipment and it was much easier to use but both of my hands were covered in different colours of print and I enjoyed it because now know in the workshop I can use these special printing. is always good to learn something new everyday not just using all the time print brushes it can be annoying and but what decide to do is take all the pictures on my phone then I upload it put on my blogs.
Evaluation In the Royal Opera House Challenge I worked so hard to produce a wonderful set -design and which took time for me to understand how to build a natural modern set for Romeo and Juliet scene. Myself I needed to know how wanted to make the set - design also even the way it was structured through the vision that i chosen was four. where Romeo and Juliet first meet in the Capulet party scene what happens is that I started to my research on different set- design on the google search engines therefore discovered so many different objects and shapes, also sizes which I compare my set- design to one that found on the internet it was a YouTube clip on how a company that works at the workshop they have done similar piece which was run by theatre called stratford Shakespeare festival. and I realise had to do a brainstorm about Romeo's family and Juliet's family two sides of the families which they didn't get along with each other what i decide to do was writing things down on a plain paper. and i came up with a lot of ideas about how my design will be like? what type of materials that i wanted ? also i need to measure two parts of the woods which was area and length of it. my mind was focusing more of make the Set- design that what I wanted to do but my plan was so much different to my classmates therefore two people were doing costumes and one person did hair and make-up.
And also had to research about African designers painting which is in my Set- design. and it was on a Tuesday the whole production arts class and our workshop teacher told us that we are going to the Royal opera house trip. to go and look at the behind scene so as whole class we got the bus to covent gardens. when we arrived their at the Royal opera house we had to look at stage, also set- design on how is made. afterwards I did my own research about so many set- designers which as Es Devin, Bunny Christie, and Christopher Oram. I inspire these four wonderful set- designers on there work.
For next time would of finish off my set-design because could of done a bit more bit with my sign of cross also the way I printed African print I rushed it to much therefore would of done it very clearly. so the Royal opera house Judges could of understand my set properly. my whole thing was that the rest of the set-design didn't close also that what i wanted to like and then i can open last.

The Performance Skills and context
Context
The curious Incident play was working with National theatre. it is based in west end also Christopher Boone. Which also his parents where having a difficult time not being together anymore. His mum moved to London and Christopher John Francis Boone who is fifteen year old boy with serious condition an autism spectrum therefore he currently lives with his father. Christopher discovers the dead body of the neighbour's dog wellington speared by a garden fork. But I realised that Christopher never had any friends around him because he was very intelligent with his science and maths calculations.
And his A level teacher said he was never going to re sit his maths exams it took time for him to revise and also to found out who killed his dog Wellington. But as production arts class students we went to trip see the play and myself most thing enjoy was technical stuff work the were they are together in the curious incident performance after characters had to take a break during the play all I saw twenty stage managers were on the stage cleaning the chalk pencil also by removing everything on the floor. And then when the all characters came back from stage Christopher had to look for his mum still but what he decide to do was he went to his local station area which was called network rail. and Christopher got into the train but there was too many people inside the Station but the transport officer police that work for the network rail tried to get Christopher because his dad had to look for him. afterwards the train started to move and then transport officer police blames on Christopher from leaving his home town. but when Christopher arrived to London he didn't know where he was going first but he asked someone that works in the train station how to get into harrow road. All Christopher had to was to walk to transport for London which he can see the London underground map and then afterwards he had to go from platform two . Also Christopher realise that his mum must have understand that Christopher really wants to see him in person. But things started to change when he came to London he didn't know where was he going to go at first because Central London is the biggest area to find his mum in where does she live at moment. Therefore Christopher always had his mum letters to know what borough she lives in and when Christopher saw his mum and him got both very emotional because they haven't see each other in ages if noticed that the mum's boyfriend was acting very weird towards Christopher he couldn't say hello to him properly as if he got scared. When I watched curious incidents of the dog in night time in theatre I knew that when Christopher was trying to sleep in a spare room where his mum was not always around with him that much therefore we know Christopher couldn't sleep properly heard noises from the house he said "who was that"? Then mum's boyfriend from the house drinking beer towards Christopher face also he was being drunk and he shouted that the man he goes to him I don't you Christopher goes to him I will call my dad I want to go back home . And then mum and dad where saying to him are you okay but he was panicing quite a lot and finale ending of the play both of his parents had to give him a present it was a dog that's all he wanted to have since the other dog past away.
Now I know the story from beginning till ending during that excellent happiness of a family bond which theatre in the west end has partnership with national theatre an an excellent cast of all the characters must have worked hard with the technical team such as sound designers, lighting designers, stage managers, backstage props and custom like hair and makeup even set designers they also meeting together with the cast and crew team which they can develop on skills and experience so they can improve during the performances.
Research https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyDkZHP_bPI Set of the play had excellent layout of how the director wanted it to be during performance of curious
Incident. Even the stage was a rectangle because all of characters were siting down on each boxes. It looked amazing how they structured place properly also all the boxes had lights on each side during the performance. And then characters had a break in between a shows but I was on the internet therefore I looked BBC website about curious incidents play technical and set designers they described the performances about how detailed it was like in every way of that shows in west end is from so differently they all have rehearsal very day also take our time to see what is happening in their shows. I looked at different types of sound effect they use for the curious incidents performance so things you can hear in the background when all the characters are acting such as trains, football matches.
Costume all the clothes that all of characters were wearing was normal out-fit to dress up during the curious Incident performance which the director had an excellent vision towards this wonderful exciting
Lighting technical work during the curious incident play had produce an excellent lighting effects when all the characters were on the stage. Which made the scene look perfect in between all the shows that is taken place there you can look at how much image it has been produced throughout each section that has been changed even the way lighting designers made more look different .
Sound Effects During the performance sound effects they were using was seaside, Police station, football crowed, network rail Station, London Underground, His mum was taking in the background actual play even the audience enjoyed by Christopher experience on how spoke about his maths experience by during the ending question sound it looked good to understand how the sound designers worked with all the characters in the behind scene
Christopher was dream all he can hear was everyone was saying his name.
The William Shakespeare performances Macbeth
Theatre in Shakespeare's E.G lighting staging, Sound?The Theatre Lighting equipment effects all from different backgrounds who are acting on the stage. And therefore when there were doing performance in Shakespeare's globe theatre they only use candles during all the that took place in Shakespeare's globe performances.
Staging-in the Shakespeare's globe theatre was were all actors are acting on the staging it was just wood. It show he or she area of staging there will be standing .
Sound during the tutor times Elizabethan music created by a person called Augustine Phillips which he had to produce excellent music in all the performances that were taking place in Shakespeare's globe.
Last week Tuesday and Thursday I was doing sound for two performances I worked with a person that does Ual performances arts level 3 year one but he was doing lighting we both worked together as a team. Myself I have improved using the Q lab on Mac book air laptop. and at first I didn't know how to use it. When I first started the course September. During my spare time I kept watching YouTube tutorial clip about how to use the Q Lab and it quiet confusing at first because there are so many instructions during when you are following that process.
How were these overcome use Macbeth?
William Shakespeare's has written an excited story of Macbeth which he had took his time and also by understanding what was going on during each of the scene from beginning till ending. which made the him realise how he structured form of the play script when you watched the performance it involved with main characters king and banquet even the three witches they always wanted to kill the king but didn't work out because they were using magic spells. Which it also changed the everything completed in by hearing voices?
Research and compare two different productions of Macbeth production design , costume/ setting , lights/ - I looked at so many theatres on the internet which I had to research a place called Shakespeare globe theatre most of their costumes that the characters were wearing is the Elizabethan clothes is made more look amazing from them stand out on the stage to perform. And costumes designers even the set production have worked hard by making sure that all the costumes fits Male and female characters therefore i needed to check the music also sound effects downloading it and putting on the Q lab system.
During my research I looked at the music from YouTube therefore i discovered from the students what type of sound effects they want for there performance. and the sound that chosen was sound of a bird effects , Apparition Macbeth one , two and three - it was a voice over of the students acting out. in the first rehearsal on Monday during the afternoon I had to looked at Ual performance arts acting level 3 year one and the teacher gave me the play script to see what music is happening from beginning till ending, music that we had was war drums, ceremonial music for banquet scene. Most of the rehearsal that I intended was the black team and pink team it took place in rehearsal room and theatre. On Friday helped out my classmate in theatre for blue team rehearsal I had to look after the sound desk it is called Allen and health Digital mixing console twenty — four and blue team rehearsal wasn't best one because didn't really understand what was going on in theatre. I was very disappointed how the blue team group were not paying destinations on the Macbeth play script during their rehearsal most of them forgot there lines. me i was just on backstage with my classmate he did the lighting for their rehearsal but the blue team rushed because most of them said they had things to do but we wasted our time setting up the sound desk and lighting desk for them which was not the right thing to do. but for me I wasn't their for blue team performances which took place on Monday I was doing my work experience on that day the place was called white light it was in south Wimbledon I my passion is to become live sound engineer so I can develop in theatre or outside the college. and on Tuesday I came to the college and also when entered theatre my tutor spoke to me about how did my work experience in white light went I said it was a excellent place to be in also they had the biggest lighting department and audio and video sound area department too. then started to use the sound desk for the Macbeth performance the team that was working with on Tuesday was black team therefore didn't really work by myself I worked with a boy that does a course called Ual performance arts acting level 3 year one he was doing lighting for his classmate because during Wednesday lesson we have class called on Technical Theatre sound and lighting level 3 Betc certificate. and then the teacher gave me the Macbeth play script for to mark where the music is going to start form the beginning till ending of play the music and sound effects that the drama teacher chosen is Celtic Battle music drum, trumpet, and Thunder clap twice, The London fanfare, - sound effects Bird song sound, ceremonial music afterwards Apartion one , Apartion two and Apartion three. there was a scene where two boys where fighting it was called drums of war sound of a fighting scene we had background music for it and sounded amazing. on the Thursday Morning i had to pink group team performance on i was doing sound therefore I knew what do on that day. Also as Sound engineer main things was making sure the sound mixer is fixed properly and there no fault technical issues in the sound mixer was called Allen and Health Sound desk is one of best to use a for all the Technical sound technician that like to use in for there theatres, live gigs, and pubs.
Evaluation
I was very proud of myself with using the Sound desk equipment which is called Allen and Health in the college theatre. Improve so much getting a lot of advice from my tutor when I had a one to one with her she told me I need to use more of the sound desk system also she didn't want my classmates not use the sound desk that much. But now my tutor she was shocked how I use sound desk for the Macbeth performances she never expected to happened on Tuesday and Thursday. myself I had to sound for two shows.
Had to perform a play it was called the Little shop of Horrors Musical. Myself and the production team what we did was also worked together but I was helping out a person from my class she was doing sound but. It went well because one of the dancing Musical teacher showed us a video on YouTube during Thursday's lesson in the afternoon to talk about how should we set up the play theatre but as a class we did a meeting together with the teacher she gave us a worksheet to do for homework it was to find a horror movies from the 1962. Or 80s myself I looked at the internet search engines where I found so many horror movies online but me I am not a fan of a horror movie at all. And I came a bit late for the rehearsal theatre because I had something to do outside the college. And also through out the each rehearsal the music that chosen was the little shop of Horrors musical song, and last song is Addams family were the Ual performing actors level 3 year two. I enjoyed the Dancing musical theatre performance of the little shop of Horrors Musical because I never expected them to do a excellent American accent through out the all show it was the best one has a production arts group we put a amazing job together as team. And the dancing musical theatre teacher told us to download a music cover of the little shop of Horrors Musical on YouTube Therefore the website that we download the music was called Mp3 YouTube converter and one song that really long the student had to sing a cover of little shop of Horrors Musical she said it was too much for her to sing the whole music. But if i knew would told one of my classmate that was doing sound for the performance all she needed to do was go into Q Lab there is section is a setting called time and loop and it means how you can cut through the song each way you figure it out myself on how Q lab works on by writing down on YouTube that only best why to do. and the Dancing Musical theatre teacher said it was too late cut the musical instrumental down but as a technical team you need to have discussion with teacher that is presenting the performances to college students and friends and families. how long is music will run be on and even the time of it also you can't put the music for that long because you need to make sure that student needs to take a break making sure that she takes water in between rehearsal so vocal cords don't break. and the song was grow for me By little shop of Horrors musical piece. and then when actual show started which for the evening during families and friends come to see the performance everything on stage was well done even including with props, costume, lighting sound went well.Evaluation
On the little shop of Horrors Musical I didn't use the sound desk it was my classmate i was there just to help out with any technical difficulties as a sound engineer I had to check if the fader was working properly and the also I enjoyed watching the performance it was good at the dancing Musical theatre knew all there lines very well from without no play script. and if you look at the four pictures you can see that was the matinee performances. and also all the props for this show was excellent the way wanted the stage to be.
During on the Thursday lesson we had dancing musical theatre teacher spoke about how she wanted the clothes to be like during the day of performance and then I realise lighting , sound effect with the play how the whole class wanted it to be.
I on my notebook wrote everything because it was just me my classmate and talk to teacher to have a min production arts team focus more on the performances took place on a Wednesday afternoon and Evening.
My tutor wanted me stay for the evening performance therefore she thought i was going to do sound for play which is called The little shop of Horrors Musical but didn't do it because my classmate wanted to sound. I know that next time will be doing sound for dancing musical theatre performance I remember will write down notebook or calendar making will be using the sound desk equipment. it will be the greatest opportunity for myself expand my hopes and future ambition. by attending more production arts meeting with the drama teachers and Dancing Musical Theatre, it would be excellent thing because I can gave rest the classes some ideas of what there want for props, set , Hair and make up , sound and lighting to be like during all the shows that takes place in the theatre.
